These broccoli and cheddar cheese stuffed chicken breasts are fantastic. We love our served with homemade cheesy rice (or cauliflower rice) and a side salad or steamed veggie.

Tips:
  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead.
  • The recipe can be cut in half for a smaller family.
  • Or doubled for a larger crowd or meal prepping.
  • The chicken breast are also excellent for meal prepping. When cooled store in container of choice with sides and refrigerate for easy lunches all week.

I often double the recipe and then use the leftover for lunches for the week! Lunch and dinner done in one simple recipe!

Have a great day!
