1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or 4 large breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder divided
½ teaspoon Paprika
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1 c Small chopped broccoli florets
1 c Shredded Cheddar Cheese
How to make Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Chicken Breast
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Cut through the centre of the chicken to make a pocket for the stuffing. Do this step for the rest of the chicken breasts.
Step 3: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Step 4: Add the broccoli with shredded cheese and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix well and season with a dash of salt and pepper.
Step 5: Stuff the chicken breasts with the mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the pockets.
Step 6: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Step 7: Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 2 to 3 minutes on both sides.
Step 8: Then, bake in the oven for 15 to 17 minutes more. The chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the centre reached 165 degrees F.
Notes:
Use cream cheese for a light and fat-free substitute or cheddar cheese.
You can use frozen broccoli in place of fresh.
And avocado oil instead of olive oil.
Storage:
Store leftovers in a container and place in the fridge for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, reheat in the microwave. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
