- 2 thick chicken breasts
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- ½ cup broccoli florets chopped
- 1 tsp garlic
- 2 Tbsp butter cut into 1/2 Tbsp pieces
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
On cut side, place a slice of cheese and cover with a layer of broccoli.
Roll breasts and insert a toothpick through the center to hold roll while cooking.
Place on greased or lined baking sheet.
Spear 1/2 Tbsp butter on toothpick. Sprinkle garlic, seasoned salt, and pepper over rolls.
Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160°
Notes:
Chopping the broccoli florets really, really small helps them stay inside the roll.
Have your toothpicks out of the box and ready to go so you don't contaminate the box with your raw chicken fingers.
Stuffed chicken goes great with this easy risotto.
