2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 1/8 tsp salt
1 cup broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tbsp cream cheese
Olive oil

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for your broccoli cheese stuffed chicken breast.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Carefully cut a slit along the length of each chicken breast, stopping before you cut through the other side.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with Cajun seasoning and 1 teaspoon of salt. Don’t forget to season inside the slit for extra flavor!
In a bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and ⅛ teaspoon of salt.
Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli cheddar mixture, then season the tops with a little more Cajun seasoning.
Brush the tops of the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy broccoli stuffed chicken!
