Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Mushroom and Broccoli Stuffed Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and get a baking sheet ready by lining it with aluminum foil—this will make cleanup a breeze later on.
Step 2
Next, grab a microwave-safe bowl and toss in your chopped broccoli along with a couple of tablespoons of water.
Step 3
Pop it in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes, then drain any excess water to keep your dish from getting soggy.
Step 4
Now, transfer that vibrant, steamed broccoli to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
It’s time to add some flavor! Stir in shredded pepper Jack cheese, creamy mayonnaise, sliced mushrooms, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
Step 6
Mix everything together until it’s well combined and looking delicious.
Step 7
Now, let’s give those chicken breasts some love.
Step 8
Season both sides generously with paprika, salt, and black pepper for a flavorful kick.
Step 9
Carefully cut a deep pocket into each breast, making sure not to slice all the way through—this is where the magic happens! Stuff each chicken breast with the broccoli and cheese mixture, ensuring they’re filled to the brim with that tasty goodness.
Step 10
Place the stuffed chicken breasts on your prepared baking sheet, ready for their oven adventure.
Step 11
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the chicken bake for about 35 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 13
For peace of mind, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 14
Once it’s perfectly cooked, take a moment to admire your creation before serving.
Step 15
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only satisfying but also packed with flavor!.
