Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups steamed and chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the broccoli stuffing.
- Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Carefully cut a slit horizontally through the thickest part of each chicken breast, creating a pocket for the stuffing.
- Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the broccoli and cheese mixture. Press the edges of the chicken together to seal the stuffing inside.
- Heat some olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or additional shredded cheese if desired.
