Tender chicken breasts are butterflied and stuffed with a creamy filling of blanched broccoli, sharp cheddar, and cream cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. The cheese melts into a luscious pocket inside the chicken while the outside develops a beautiful golden crust. This recipe is a crowd-pleaser that looks impressive enough for company but is simple enough for a Tuesday night. Canadian families love this dish because it packs vegetables right into the protein — even picky eaters devour it.

Pro Tips
- 💡Make sure to chop the broccoli very finely so the filling stays compact and doesn't fall out.
- 💡Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before butterflying for more even cooking.
- 💡You can prepare these up to 24 hours ahead — stuff, wrap tightly, and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Variations
- 🔄Swap cheddar for Swiss cheese and add diced ham for a Cordon Bleu twist.
- 🔄Use spinach and feta instead of broccoli and cheddar for a Greek-inspired version.
- 🔄Add crumbled bacon to the filling for extra richness.
