Ingredients

For the filling

  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried 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.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 4 days.
