Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Rollups

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

 

Instructions:

Prepare the chicken:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Slice a pocket into each chicken breast (or butterfly if thick).

 

Make the filling:

In a bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

 

Stuff the chicken:

Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli and Greek yogurt mixture, making sure to pack it tightly. Secure the chicken with toothpicks if necessary.

 

Sear the chicken:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

 

Bake the chicken:

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs and thyme on top for added texture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

 

Serve:

Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. Remove the toothpicks and slice into the rollups to serve.

The Greek yogurt will provide a creamy texture with a slightly tangy flavor, complementing the richness of the cheddar and broccoli. Enjoy!
