2 tbsp olive oil
Black pepper to taste
Paprika to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the broccoli florets for three minutes until tender but firm.

Fold the chopped broccoli into the cheese mixture until fully combined.
Cut a horizontal pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
Stuff each pocket generously with the broccoli and cheese mixture.
Secure the openings with wooden toothpicks.
Season the exterior of the chicken breasts evenly with black pepper and paprika.
Sear the chicken in a hot skillet with olive oil for three minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for twenty minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for five minutes.
Extract the toothpicks before serving.
