Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices white sandwich bread, cut into cubes (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 ounces sliced deli ham, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
4 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each), thawed if frozen
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen broccoli florets, thawed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine bread, ham, sage, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Lay chicken flat on a work surface. Using a paring knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in the thick side of each breast half. Insert knife, and pivot, carefully forming a deep pocket without enlarging opening (or piercing through opposite side). Stuff each pocket with bread mixture, packing tightly; season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken over; cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet); cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high; add broccoli and garlic. Cook, tossing, until broccoli is warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve stuffed chicken with broccoli.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. The broccoli is hidden in the stuffing, so they don't even realize they're eating it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the stuffing is savory and aromatic. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was raw in the middle and the stuffing was undercooked. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out way too salty. I think next time I'll use half the amount of salt.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the stuffing was bland. I wouldn't make this dish again.

I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and they were so tender and juicy. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the stuffing for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of sage, so I omitted it from the stuffing. The chicken still turned out great!
