Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup broccoli florets, cooked and chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil for drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally along the side to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli cheddar mixture, dividing it evenly among the breasts. Close the chicken breasts and secure them with toothpicks, if necessary.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
