- Half a teaspoon of garlic powder
- A quarter teaspoon of Paprika
- 2 cups of chopped into small pieces broccoli
- Half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- A little dash of salt and pepper to bring some taste and seasoning
Instructions:
- Start by preheating the oven to over 375°.

- Make a wide pocket in each chicken breast, but make sure not to cut it all the way through.
- Get each chicken breast and start filling it.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven skillet over some medium heat. When the pan is hot enough, sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides but not cook through. Depending on the size and quantity of your chicken breasts, you may need two or more separate batches to do this. Place all of your chicken breasts in your skillet and put them in the oven.
- Bake everything for about half an hour, or until you notice the chicken breasts have been cooked thoroughly.
Tips:
- You need to make sure that your broccoli florets are small enough to fit inside the chicken breasts.
- It’s better to choose large chicken breasts.
- Make a small pocket in your chicken breasts by not cutting all the way through in the middle.
- If you do not possess an oven-safe pan, brown your chicken in a skillet first before transferring it to an oven-safe dish or pan.
