How to Make Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure the chicken cooks perfectly and develops a beautiful golden crust.
  2. Prepare the chicken breasts by drying them and making a slit 2/3 of the way through each breast.
  3. Combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl; then coat each chicken breast.
  4. Heat unsalted butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; sear the chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped broccoli, and minced garlic in a medium bowl until creamy.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli cheese mixture generously, securing if necessary.
  7. Return the stuffed chicken to the skillet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley for a beautiful presentation and serve warm.
