🧂 What You’ll Need

Equipment:

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Knife
  • Cooking twine or toothpicks

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Olive oil

👩‍🍳 How to Make Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
  2. Flatten the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic, thyme, paprika, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well combined.
  5. Stuff the chicken: Spoon the filling onto one side of each chicken breast. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  6. Bake: Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with extra salt and pepper, if desired. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Rest and serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.

🍽 Tips & Variations

  • Add a crunch: Sprinkle the top with a little panko or grated Parmesan before baking.
  • Switch the cheese: Try mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
  • Use frozen broccoli: Just thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before mixing.
  • Make it ahead: Prepare and refrigerate the stuffed chicken breasts a few hours before baking.
