Ingredients
Scale
4 small chicken breasts
¾ cup broccoli (chopped)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the broccoli, cheddar cheese, and softened cream cheese. Set aside.
- Slice each chicken breast lengthwise so that the breast folds open (be sure not to slice all the way through).
- Spread the broccoli cheddar mixture on one side of the chicken and fold the other side over. Secure the chicken with a toothpick.
- Lightly sprinkle the cajun seasoning on each side of the chicken.
- Place in a greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- You can use fresh or thawed frozen broccoli. Pat it dry first.
