Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 900–1020 grams)
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 225 grams small diced broccoli florets (blanched and thoroughly dried)
  • 40 grams finely diced red bell pepper
  • 160 grams shredded colby-jack cheese
  • 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning blend ingredients.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with the seasoning blend on both sides.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the broccoli, red bell pepper, colby-jack cheese, and mayonnaise to create the filling.
  5. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff with the broccoli and cheese filling.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the broccoli is thoroughly dried after blanching to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
  • Feel free to substitute colby-jack cheese with your favorite cheese.
  • For added flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley to the filling.
