Cheesy Broccoli-Stuffed Chicken Breast with Crispy Bacon
This mouth-watering stuffed chicken breast features a flavorful combination of creamy cheese, broccoli, and a touch of garlic, all wrapped up in crispy bacon. The perfect blend of taste, texture, and nutrition.
Cut a partial slit lengthwise down the inner side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. You're looking to create a pocket for the filling.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine finely chopped broccoli, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix the ingredients using a spoon or your hands.

Divide the filling mixture in half and stuff it into the pocket of each chicken breast. Close the opening as much as possible.
5
Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a casserole dish.
6
Lay three bacon slices across the top of each chicken breast, tucking the ends underneath the chicken.
7
Place the chicken breasts into the casserole dish, with the bacon seam side facing up.
8
Cook in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F and the bacon is browned and crispy.
