Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Place each chicken breast on a cutting board. Carefully cut a pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the broccoli and cheese mixture evenly into the pockets of each chicken breast.
- Drizzle the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil and season the outside with salt and pepper.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is bubbly and melted.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For an extra cheesy topping, sprinkle a little more cheddar cheese over the chicken during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- You can substitute Gruyere or Monterey Jack cheese for the cheddar.
- Serve with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
