Brocoli Stuffed Chicken


This is one of my most favourite chicken recipes ever! The chicken is SOOOOOOOOO moist and the flavor of broccoli and cheese is so good. It actually tastes like the chicken is battered, but it's not! Definetly one of my GO to recipes for chicken, and it's SO easy to make!



Broccoli Stuffed Chicken

21 Day  Fix portions (per one chicken): 1 red container, 1 blue container and 1 green container


Ingredients

4 chicken breasts, very thin

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped frozen broccoli

1 tsp Sea salt

1 tsp Pepper 

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tbsp olive oil

Toothpicks



Instructions

Preheat over to 350 degrees. If you're chicken breasts are not already thin, pound them with a mallet until thin. This makes the chicken easier to fold in half. Place them in a baking dish.

Coat chicken with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly on top of the chicken breasts. Save a little bit to add to the top after you fold them.

Sprinkle chopped broccoli evenly on top of the cheese. The smaller you chop your broccoli, the easier it stays on when you fold it.

Fold your chicken breasts in half and secure with 2-3 toothpicks each.

Brush the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil.

Cover baking dish with tin foil and place in the over. Cook for about 30-40 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

Remove tin foil and sprinkle chicken with the remaining cheese.

Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
