Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast has been an equation I've been expecting to make FOREVER and since I've made it, I wish I would have made it sooner!

So here's the course of action. My kids are not your ordinary youths with respect to sustenance. I for the most part acknowledged they were even more anxious to endeavor sustenances, yet when my multi year old young lady returned home from school, saw separated broccoli on my cutting burden up and instantly asked with respect to whether she could eat it… well, that is basically not normal… is it?

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast is stacked up with a clear broccoli cheddar mix, consumed in a skillet, by then warmed to perfection.

INGREDIENTS :

• 3 large chicken breasts
• salt & pepper
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder, divided
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 cup mild cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika and 1/2 tsp of the garlic powder. Use a sharp knife to cut a slice through the middle of the chicken breasts, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
3. For the filling, place the broccoli in a microwaveable dish and add about 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Drain any excess water. To the dish add the bell pepper, cheese, mayo, remaining garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until combined, then divide the mixture between the chicken breasts, using a toothpick to secure if necessary.
4. Heat a large, oven safe skillet (I prefer to use a cast iron skillet), over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Cover skillet with foil and bake in preheated oven for 15- 17 minutes, or until chicken reads 165 degrees. Let rest, covered for 5 minutes before enjoying.
