Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 150 grams Broccoli florets
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes or until tender, then chop them finely.
In a medium bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and garlic powder. Mix well to form the filling.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally without cutting all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the broccoli and cheese filling, then secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove any toothpicks before plating.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Broccoli Stuffed Chicken!
