Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup finely chopped broccoli (steamed)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Toothpicks (for securing)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Spoon the broccoli-cheese mixture into each pocket and secure with toothpicks.
In a small bowl, mix paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then season both sides of each stuffed chicken breast.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear each chicken breast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
