Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (3-4 chicken breasts)
- 1 ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the filling
- 2 cups broccoli florets chopped
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Make a horizontal slit in the thickest part of the chicken breast to create a pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through.
- Season the chicken breast with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper and use your hands to rub the seasoning on both sides of the chicken.
- In a small bowl, combine the broccoli, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder and mustard powder. Stuff the mixture evenly inside the chicken breast. Use a couple toothpicks to close each pocket.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron skillet, add the stuffed chicken and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven uncovered and bake until cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
