Instructions

Add the garlic salt, onion powder, and paprika to a bowl and mix together.

Rub on the chicken breasts.

Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and carefully slice the side of the chicken almost to the other side, making a pocket.

Combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and broccoli in a medium bowl and mix together. You may need to use your hands.

Scoop about 6-7 Tablespoons of the mixture and stuff it into a chicken breast. Repeat for each chicken breast.

Add butter and oil to a large pan and place over medium to high heat. Melt.

Once melted, place the chicken breast in the pan and sear until brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Once both sides are brown, add the lid to the pan and turn the heat to low to cook the chicken all the way, about 15 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Blend Mastery 🧀
Mix cream cheese, cheddar, and parmesan for a more complex, creamy filling that melts perfectly and prevents separation during cooking.
Broccoli Prep Perfection 🥦
Finely chop broccoli and slightly precook it to remove excess moisture, ensuring your stuffed chicken doesn't become watery or soggy.
Pocket Technique Pro 🔪
Create a deep pocket in the chicken breast using a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through, which helps keep the filling sealed during cooking.
Crispy Exterior Hack 🍳
Use a combination of vegetable oil and butter for searing to achieve a golden, crispy exterior while adding rich flavor to the chicken.
Seasoning Layer Strategy 🌶️
Season both the inside of the chicken pocket and the exterior with garlic salt and onion powder for maximum flavor penetration.
