INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN BREAST:
- I use chicken breast without bone & skin. It should be large about 6 – 8 ounces each so that there should be enough space to stuff the filing.
GARLIC POWDER:
- I use garlic powder to make it more flavorful; you can also add fresh garlic but it cannot able to mix properly with the seasoning mix.
PAPRIKA:
- I added paprika powder to give it a color and subtle smokiness. If you want to make it more smokey you can add smoked paprika to it.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Salt & pepper is added to season the dish.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil is used to sear the chicken breast; you can also use avocado oil or butter if you want to make it more indulgent.
BROCCOLI FLORETS:
- I use fresh broccoli to make this recipe stuffing, you can also use steamed broccoli but it should be finely chopped.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- I use sharp cheddar to make its stuffing it gives a tangy taste to the dish; you can also add a mild cheddar or mozzarella blend to make this stuffing.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese is included in this stuffing to make it more indulgent, creamy, & smooth. You can also add ricotta cheese to make it light & fluffy.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- I add the parmesan cheese to make it more flavorful.
GARLIC:
- I added crushed garlic to make it more flavorful and aromatic.
