Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).

Steam broccoli until tender, drain, and chop finely.

Mix broccoli, cheddar, cream cheese, garlic, and seasonings.

Cut pockets into chicken breasts.

Stuff each breast with the mixture.

Rub chicken with olive oil and season lightly.

Sear in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.

Transfer to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until fully cooked.
