Fully Loaded Chicken

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2 -In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3 -Place the chicken breasts on a plate and drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Step 4 -Rub the seasoning mixture on the olive oil-drizzled chicken and coat entirely.

Step 5 -Carefully cut out a wide pocket on the side of each of the chicken breasts, being sure not to cut all the way through.

Step 6 -In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cheese, cream cheese, garlic, the remaining salt, and the remaining pepper.

Step 7 -Stuff each of the chicken breasts with the cream cheese mixture filling.

Step 8 -In a large oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat, heat the remaining olive oil.

Step 9 -Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on each side, but don't cook through. Depending on the size of the breasts, two batches may be necessary for this step.

Step 10 -Place the 4 seared breasts in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven.

Step 11 -Bake the chicken breasts until cooked through and an instant thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees F, about 25-35 minutes.

Step 12 -Serve.
