Almost everyone is obsessed with chicken breasts. Its almost impossible to pass up the whole concept of stuffing chicken breasts with your favorite fillings. All the flavors cook inside the chicken breasts and make the chicken super delicious and flavor-packed! Keto Broccoli Stuffed Chicken is going to be love by the whole family.
We have previously shared garlic spinach parmesan stuffed chicken breasts and this week we are sharing this YUMMY Keto Broccoli Stuffed Chicken. The filling is a mixture of cream cheese, garlic, bell pepper, parmesan, cheddar, and steamed broccoli. The parmesan and cheddar make the broccoli and chicken super juicy and delicious and the creamy cheese gives it a creamy texture that is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!
To start, in the microwave or on the stove-top steam broccoli florets . When it’s cooked, put them under cold water and then drain them. Roughly chop them into chunks.
Put bell pepper, garlic, and your favorite cheeses to the broccoli . We prefer parmesan, a melting cheese and cream cheese. You can replace cream cheese with mayo. Mix everything up and stuff into chicken breasts.
