Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Broccoli florets (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Cooked ham (diced)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully slice a pocket into the side of each breast. Make sure not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Using a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli and ham mixture. Secure the edges with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
Step 5
Season the outside of the chicken breasts with a mixture of paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the toothpicks and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Broccoli and Ham Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
