Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it’s bright green and slightly tender.
- Combine the sautéed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli and cheese mixture and secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Avoid overstuffing to prevent chicken from bursting. Allow chicken to rest after baking for moist texture.
