Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 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
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- Toothpicks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and paprika.
- Place the chicken cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, mash the spreadable cheese with a fork until creamy. Stir in the chopped broccoli and shredded Cheddar cheese until well combined.
- Spread the cheese and broccoli mixture over the center of each chicken cutlet. Roll the chicken around the filling and secure the edges with toothpicks.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken roll in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken into the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the toothpicks before serving and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to the broccoli and cheese mixture.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chicken to a baking dish after browning in the skillet.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
