Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets
• 4 small button mushrooms, sliced
• 4 large chicken breasts
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup shredded pepperjack cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 3

Combine broccoli with 2 tablespoons water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Drain.

Step 4

Transfer broccoli to a large bowl. Stir in pepper Jack, mayonnaise, mushrooms, and garlic powder.

Step 5

Season chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper. Use a sharp knife to cut a slice through the middle of each breast to create a deep pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through. Evenly stuff each breast with broccoli mixture and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
