Certainly! Here’s a delicious recipe for keto broccoli stuffed chicken:
Ingredients:
For the Broccoli Stuffed Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked and chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
For the Seasoning:
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine the cooked and chopped broccoli, shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want to create a space for the stuffing.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli and cheese mixture, pressing the mixture gently into the pocket.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the seasoning blend.
- Rub the seasoning blend over both sides of each stuffed chicken breast.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
- Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the keto broccoli stuffed chicken with your choice of low-carb side dishes, such as a salad, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower rice.
Enjoy your delicious and keto-friendly broccoli stuffed chicken!
Please note that the cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. It’s always a good idea to use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
