I came up with this Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken recipe when I realized the only way to convince my son to eat his vegetables was to stuff them inside some chicken breasts and it worked like a charm. A creamy and cheesy mixture of broccoli florets, red bell pepper, mild Cheddar cheese and mayonnaise stuffed inside chicken breasts and seasoned with garlic powder and paprika. What a way to win over your family, am I right?
To make Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Generously and evenly, season the chicken on both sides with some salt and pepper, ¼ teaspoon of paprika and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
Use a sharp knife to slice through the middle of 3 chicken breasts taking care to not cut all the way through and just creating a pocket to stuff and fill.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine 1 cup of finely chopped broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute. Drain excess water.
Add the ½ cup of finely diced bell pepper, 1 cup of mild Cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, remaining teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
Divide the stuffing mixture between the 3 chicken breasts, to fill. If necessary, use toothpick to secure the pocket.
In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the stuffed chicken breasts. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, to sear.
Cover the skillet with silver aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-17 minutes until the center of the chicken reads 165 °F on a thermometer.
Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
