BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Broccoli-Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I've taken the classic flavors of broccoli Cheddar soup and transformed them into a filling for baked chicken breasts. But feel free to grab whatever cheese, herbs and spices you've got and use those instead. This recipe would also work great with cauliflower and/or any type of cheese that has a decent melt factor. Firmer cheeses like Parmesan and Gruyère would be welcome additions, but I'd steer clear of anything that's extra-soft (think Brie or mascarpone) because we want the filling to stay intact.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups broccoli florets (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or other fresh herbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see Cook's Note)
Garlic powder, ground cumin or other spices
4 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl then add 2 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl (a large plate works best) then microwave for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli to paper towels, drain very well and let cool slightly.
  • Chop the broccoli into small, pea-sized pieces then return it to the bowl. Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through to the other side.
  • Divide the broccoli mixture among the chicken breasts, pressing it firmly into each pocket.
  • Season the outsides of the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other preferred spices.
  • Divide the olive oil among two ovenproof skillets set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook the chicken until seared on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip it once and cook until seared on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the skillets to the oven and continue cooking the chicken breasts until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and serve.

Provided by Becky Hardin

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large chicken breasts
4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups chopped broccoli (smaller pieces)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 clove garlic (minced)
Dash of salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a small dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts. Rub the seasoning mixture on the chicken and coat entirely.
  • Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Cut out a wide pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the filling.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side, but don't cook through. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your chicken breasts. Place all 4 breasts in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until the chicken breasts are cooked through.

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN



Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken image

This cheesy broccoli chicken is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. By buying thin-sliced chicken cutlets, you save yourself the work of slicing them yourself, however feel free to cut regular-sized chicken breasts if you prefer. Slice in half horizontally, then pound thin to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Feel free to change up the flavor of The Laughing Cow® cheese for variety.

Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 thin chicken breast cutlets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 wedges spreadable garlic and herb cheese (such as The Laughing Cow®), softened
1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed and finely chopped
¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
8 toothpicks, or as needed
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pound chicken cutlets to 1/4-inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. Sprinkle both sides of cutlets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Mash cheese wedges with a fork in a small bowl and stir to a creamy consistency. Add broccoli and shredded Cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
  • Spread broccoli filling evenly over the middle of each cutlet. Start from one end, roll cutlets up and secure edges with toothpicks.
  • Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken rolls in the mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken rolls into skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks and serve.

BROCCOLI-STUFFED CHICKEN



Broccoli-Stuffed Chicken image

I was born in 1936 to a family of eight. Much of our food came from our garden and the henhouse at the back of our city lot. Mother served fried chicken every Sunday, but sometimes she surprised us with this creation. No arguments then as to who got what piece of chicken! -Donald Laugherty, Connellsville, Pennsylvania

BROCCOLI AND HAM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Broccoli and Ham Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

I bought some broccoli stuffed chicken breasts one time and they were soooooo delicious, but very expensive as a family meal, so I looked on the internet for something similar and made this recipe. This is a real keeper for our family. I also doubled this recipe because I had 8 chicken breasts, so needless to say we had leftovers. I added a little celery soup to the broccoli along with green onions, salt and pepper to flavor, for a variation and it was wonderful. The best stuffed chicken I have ever had.
