An easy and impressive stuffed chicken breast recipe with a gooey broccoli and cheddar filling, perfect for a low-carb, family-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, stopping before you cut all the way through, so it opens like a book.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spoon the broccoli cheese mixture evenly onto one half of each butterflied chicken breast.
  5. Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the filling and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Season the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  7. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and remove toothpicks before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete low-carb meal.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack or a blend of cheeses.
  • For a quicker prep, use frozen chopped broccoli that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
