  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Grease a baking pan or medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Prepare Chicken:

    • Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to a 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Season Chicken:

    • In a small bowl, combine poultry seasoning, white pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, and salt.
    • Sprinkle this flavorful seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  4. Create the Filling:

    • In another bowl, mix together the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Stuff the Chicken:

    • Take half of the broccoli and cheese mixture and place it in the center of each chicken breast.
    • Carefully fold the long sides of the chicken over the filling.
    • Then, fold up the ends and secure the chicken with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  6. Bake:

    • Place the stuffed chicken breasts seam side down in the greased baking pan.
    • Pour the chicken broth into the pan around the chicken.
    • Loosely cover the pan with foil.
  7. Cooking Time:

    • Bake the chicken at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover and Finish:

    • After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the pan.
    • Baste the chicken with the flavorful pan juices.
    • Return the chicken to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  9. Serve:

    • Once done, remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts.
    • If desired, you can thicken the pan juices to make a delicious gravy.
    • Serve the broccoli-stuffed chicken hot, with a drizzle of the flavorful pan juices and your favorite side dishes.
