Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast—make sure not to slice all the way through.
- Generously stuff the chicken pockets with the broccoli and cheese mixture.
- Brush the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Notes
For more flavor, sauté the broccoli before mixing it into the filling. Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier blending.
