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.

3 thin chicken breast cutlets

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).

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

BROCCOLI & CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-47575

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices low-sodium or low-fat American Cheese
4 slices low-sodium or low-fat Swiss Cheese
3/4 cups Broccoli, chopped fresh or frozen
4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 whole egg
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup breadcrumbs or panko

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. If your chicken is on the thick side, you'll first want to butterfly it to give yourself more surface area to work with as you wrap it around the filling. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray for easy chicken removal. A pizza stone will also work for baking the stuffed chicken. Layer all 4 slices of American cheese on top of each other, and slice vertically into four even rectangle cheese stacks. Take one of the rectangle cheese stacks and place it in the center of a whole slice of Swiss. Place some of the chopped broccoli on and around the American cheese stack, and wrap the Swiss around both, creating a small packet. Place the cheese and broccoli 'packet' in the center of a flattened chicken breast, then wrap the chicken around it, securing the edges of the chicken together with toothpicks. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts. Prepare 3 bowls for the breading process. Place the flour in one, egg wash in the second (the egg and water, beaten), and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the chicken in flour, egg wash, and then breadcrumbs before placing seam-side up on a pizza stone or cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken reaches a temperature of 165°F. Don't forget to remove the toothpicks before serving! Note: You may not need to use the entire 3/4 cup of chopped broccoli. It will depend on how large your chicken breasts are. Don't worry about trying to stuff in more that can fit into your chicken. WARNING: One serving of this Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts may not fully satisfy your hunger! These Broccoli, American and Swiss cheese stuffed chicken breasts are so good you'll be asking for seconds.

  • Combine cooked broccoli, pepperjack cheese, mayonnaise, mushrooms, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
  • Season both sides of each chicken breast with paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a sharp knife to cut a slice through the middle of each breast to create a deep pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through. Evenly stuff each breast with broccoli mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through.
  • Be generous with the cheese. The cheese is what makes this dish so delicious, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it.
  • Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture is what gives the chicken its crispy coating, so it's important to use a good quality mixture.
  • Bake the chicken until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and that the breadcrumb mixture is crispy.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheese stuffed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a great dish to make ahead of time. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, broccoli cheese stuffed chicken is sure to be a hit.
