Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast #chicken #recipes

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast has been a formula I've been needing to make FOREVER and since I've made it, I wish I would have made it sooner!

Hack your broccoli florets decent and little so they would all be able to fit inside the chicken. Pick huge chicken bosoms. Try not to cut your chicken bosom completely through, only enough to make a pocket. In the event that you don't have a broiler safe skillet, you can burn the chicken in a skillet first, at that point move to a stove safe dish.

Serve this simple chicken supper with a side plate of mixed greens and some steamed rice! Your family will love this overly delicate chicken and mushy filling!

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast is filled with a simple broccoli cheese mixture, seared in a skillet, then baked to perfection.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large chicken breasts
• salt & pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder, divided
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 cup mild cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika and 1/2 tsp of the garlic powder. Use a sharp knife to cut a slice through the middle of the chicken breasts, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
3. For the filling, place the broccoli in a microwaveable dish and add about 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Drain any excess water. To the dish add the bell pepper, cheese, mayo, remaining garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until combined, then divide the mixture between the chicken breasts, using a toothpick to secure if necessary.
4. Heat a large, oven safe skillet (I prefer to use a cast iron skillet), over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Cover skillet with foil and bake in preheated oven for 15- 17 minutes, or until chicken reads 165 degrees. Let rest, covered for 5 minutes before enjoying.
