Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

Published: December 1, 2021 · Courtney Rushing

Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, 4 ounces each
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli finely chopped
  • 4 ounces non fat cream cheese softened
  • 3 ounces cheddar cheese I used the Rushing Review winner- Tillamonk
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, cooked broccoli, tsp granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well. You can use a food processor to pulse and blend quickly.
  • In a small bowl combine the paprika and more salt and pepper.
  • You can either pound your chicken out (put in between 2 pieces of parchment paper and pound out with a heavy pan or rolling pin OR you can butterfly your chicken breast. To butterfly the chicken, place your hand on top of the chicken breast, slice horizontally, and stop about a half-inch from the opposite side.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt, pepper and paprika blend.
  • Spread about 1/4 of the broccoli and cheese mixture on one side of the chicken. Close the chicken breasts and use toothpicks.
  • Heat olive oil spray in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. I used cast iron. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side and then place it in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the toothpicks and enjoy warm!

I served this with rice and it was such a hit!

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Do you struggle to see lasting change when dieting alone? You might not be looking at the entire picture. Health is multifaceted, and all areas need to be considered. Your sleep, what you breathe, your emotions, your physical fitness, and your nutrition all play key roles in achieving your goals.
