Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Rollups: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 49 minute

Ingredients

– 2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
– 1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create delicious Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Rollups:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet.
3. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
4. Fill Chicken: Place a generous amount of the broccoli mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you go.
5. Secure Rollups: Use toothpicks to secure the rolled-up chicken, ensuring the filling stays inside.
6. Sear Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rollups and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Place the seared rollups in the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
9. Rest and Remove Toothpicks: Let the rollups rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks.
10. Garnish: Serve garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color.

By following these steps, you’ll create Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Rollups that are not only tasty but also visually appealing.
