Best Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Chicken With Tomato Rice Recipes

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken image

This cheesy broccoli chicken is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. By buying thin-sliced chicken cutlets, you save yourself the work of slicing them yourself, however feel free to cut regular-sized chicken breasts if you prefer. Slice in half horizontally, then pound thin to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Feel free to change up the flavor of The Laughing Cow® cheese for variety.

Ingredients

3 thin chicken breast cutlets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 wedges spreadable garlic and herb cheese (such as The Laughing Cow®), softened
1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed and finely chopped
¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
8 toothpicks, or as needed
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Pound chicken cutlets to 1/4-inch thickness between two pieces of plastic wrap. Sprinkle both sides of cutlets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Mash cheese wedges with a fork in a small bowl and stir to a creamy consistency. Add broccoli and shredded Cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
Spread broccoli filling evenly over the middle of each cutlet. Start from one end, roll cutlets up and secure edges with toothpicks.
Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken rolls in the mixture.
Heat olive oil in a oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken rolls into skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks and serve.
