For the Chicken

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
• 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts ()

For the Filling

• 2 cups broccoli florets (chopped into smaller pieces)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 ounces cream cheese (¾ brick, room temperature)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• kosher salt (to taste)
• ground black pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Rub the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the chicken seasonings.

2. Combine the filling ingredients. Cut a wide pocket in each breast without cutting through, then divide the filling between the four pockets.
