Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients

4 large chicken breasts

4 tablespoons of olive oil (divided)

1 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon of paprika

Filling Ingredients:

2 cups of chopped broccoli (cut into small pieces)

1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

6 ounces of softened cream cheese

1 clove of minced garlic

A dash of salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a small dish, mix together the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub the seasoning mixture on the chicken to coat it entirely.

In a separate bowl, combine the filling ingredients.

Cut a wide pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each chicken breast with the filling mixture.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side until browned, but not fully cooked. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your chicken breasts.

Place all 4 chicken breasts in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
