Thank you so much, Vickie Hiner, for this amazing recipe!!
... here's another that I created myself due to wanting to try some new ingredients when meal prepping for the week the other day. I've been tweaking recipes lately as I'm not a fan of super-rich food but I'm in love with everything cream cheese and hope you love this one as much as I do!!
Here are my two recipes for a similar dish.
Baked Chicken with Broccoli & Cheese Filling
Recipe ONE:
Slice 4 chicken breast down the middle but do not cut through entirely and place them on a large cooking sheet on parchment paper or a large cutting board as you're going to need the room
You'll need:
Toothpicks
Cream Cheese
Bacon (I used pre-cooked)
Broccoli
Paprika
Salt
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Mayonaise ( I use 100% avocado oil-based)
Olive Oil (or an oil of your choice such as avocado, which is what I used)
In a small mixing bowl, mix together these first 4 dry ingredients for your dry rub.
1 tablespoon of Paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 of onion powder
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Rub all chicken breasts, front and back, with oil of choice. Take the dry ingredient mixture and sprinkle front and back of chicken until fully covered.
In a new mixing bowl, mix together the following 6 ingredients for the cream cheese mixture. In this exact order.
4 ounces of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of garlic powder or minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of shredded Mozza or cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups of finely chopped broccoli
Spread the cheese and broccoli mixture into each chicken breast and wrap closed, placing a toothpick if needed to hold together or if you choose, wrap each chicken breast with 2 or 3 slices of bacon. I chose 1/2 with bacon and 1/2 without.
Place in a baking dish, baking uncovered for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked. I doubled my batch so baked each 4 chicken breasts for an exact 30 minutes.
Recipe TWO:
Now because I happened to have the QUESO DIP from Costco I had to see how amazing this would be in place of the cream cheese mixture!
Follow Recipe ONE fully until you get to the cream cheese mixture and replace it with this...
In a bowl measure out 1 full cup of Queso Dip and mix together with 1 1/2 cups of finely chopped broccoli.
Spread the cheese and broccoli mixture into each chicken breast and wrap closed, placing a toothpick if needed to hold together or if you choose, wrap each chicken breast with 2 or 3 slices of bacon. I chose 1/2 with bacon and 1/2 without.
Place in a baking dish, baking uncovered for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked. I doubled my batch so baked each 4 chicken breasts for an exact 30 minutes.
... Like I said :) I love to share whatever tips and tricks I can and looks like cooking and baking are being added to the list!
Cheers🍷
