Deliciously stuffed chicken breasts filled with creamy broccoli and cheddar cheese.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

These ingredients are easy to find, and I love how they come together to create a mouthwatering flavor profile. Plus, you can easily adjust the cheese or veggies based on what you have in your kitchen.

Instructions

  1. Combine broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the filling.
  2. Make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing them horizontally.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with the filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the stuffed chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling with different veggies or cheeses.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
