Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked, chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your oven isn’t holding a grudge from last night’s pizza.
- Cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Don’t go all Edward Scissorhands—be gentle!
- In a bowl, combine broccoli, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon this delicious mixture into each chicken pocket. No skimping allowed!
- In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top each with the breadcrumb mixture and give it that crunchy crown.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear and topping is golden brown. Patience, grasshopper, it’s worth the wait.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Resist the urge to dive right in!
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap broccoli for spinach or asparagus. Use Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
- Garnishing Options: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing.
- Cooking Tips: For extra moist chicken, marinate the breasts in buttermilk for an hour before stuffing.
