A plate with two browned chicken patties, reminiscent of a hearty stuffed chicken breast, sits atop mashed potatoes on a tray, accompanied by a bowl of shredded cheese. A glass of iced tea, a potted plant, and fresh broccoli are in the background, with a wooden spoon nearby.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1½ cups chopped broccoli
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Mix seasonings in a bowl. Rub over chicken breasts.
  • On a parchment-lined tray, carefully slice each chicken breast to create a pocket, not cutting all the way through.
  • In a bowl, combine cream cheese, Parmesan, cheddar, garlic, and broccoli. Mix well.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with about 6-7 tablespoon of the mixture.
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with oil. Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Use a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast to check that chicken is fully cooked; cooking time may vary. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Add red pepper flakes for extra spice.
Mixing the stuffing by hand may be easier than using a spoon.
Adjust the amount of stuffing to preference.
