Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Chicken
 
 
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets and stalks
  • ⅓ cup garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin or Alouette)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • 4 small skinless boneless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the broccoli, cheese spread, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Cut 3 deep slits into the top of each chicken breast, being sure not to cut all the way through. Drizzle the chicken with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil then season with the paprika, salt and pepper. Use a spoon to stuff the broccoli mixture into the slits of the chicken. Cook the chicken in the oven until it registers 165 degrees F, about 13-15 minutes.
