Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the chicken: Use a sharp knife to carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin fillets. You can also pound them to an even thickness for quicker cooking.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, combine the steamed and chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Place a generous spoonful of the broccoli-cheddar mixture onto the center of each chicken fillet. Roll up the chicken tightly, securing the filling inside.
- Cook the roll-ups: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake: Transfer the roll-ups to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the filling is hot and melted.
- Optional: If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the chicken roll-ups before baking.
- Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- You can use other cheeses like mozzarella or Swiss for a different flavor.
- Feel free to add some cooked bacon bits or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to the filling for extra richness.
- These roll-ups pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light salad.
