When it comes to comfort food, nothing beats chicken and cheese. I’ve taken it a step further by converting the traditional broccoli-cheddar soup tastes into a filling. However, this is not your typical recipe for filled chicken breasts; rather, it is a template.
Broccoli, cheddar, cream cheese, and herbs combine quickly to create the most delicious filling. However, don’t allow the ideal combination of broccoli and cheddar to prevent you from using whatever you have on hand.
Additionally, you may use frozen broccoli with a few modifications. Frozen broccoli adds moisture, and our aim is a dense but not runny filling. Therefore, if using frozen broccoli, it is critical to fully defrost it before proceeding with the preparation as instructed.
These are all the ingredients needed for this recipe:
Four chicken breasts, you need to remove the skin and bones.
A large spoon.Of olive oil.
Two small spoons.Of Italian seasoning.
