Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup steamed and chopped broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  3. Using a sharp knife, create pockets in each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  4. Generously stuff each pocket with the broccoli and cheese mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
