Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each
chicken breast by cutting along the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese,
cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly
distributed.
Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the broccoli and cheese mixture into each chicken breast pocket, pressing
the edges together to seal. You can use toothpicks to secure the edges if needed.
Season the Chicken: Rub the outside of each chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt and
pepper.

Cook the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken
breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the
chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish and Serve: Remove the toothpicks if used. Garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley
before serving.
