Today, I'm bringing you a recipe for Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breast. Why this recipe, you ask? Because I fucking love shoving delicious ingredients inside other delicious ingredients. It's like a surprise party in your mouth, you bunch of ungrateful food ignoramuses.
Let's talk about stuffed vegetables for a second, shall we? I am so fucking sick of people scoffing at the idea of stuffing a vegetable, like it's committing some kind of gastronomic sin. Well, listen up, you pretentious assholes - stuffing a vegetable makes it better. Period. If you can't handle that, go eat your plain, boring, un-stuffed vegetables in a dark corner somewhere. I don't wanna see it.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (because who the fuck wants bones and skin getting in the way of their cheese and broccoli?)
- 1 cup cooked broccoli florets (yeah, you heard me, COOKED)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (don't you dare try to substitute this with some weak-ass cheese)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (because garlic makes everything better, unlike your bland-ass cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste (if you under-season this, I will find you)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (to keep things from sticking, you incompetent kitchen fools)
- Preheat your oven to 375°F, because we don't have all goddamn day to wait for you to get your act together.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts like a pro (if you don't know how to do this, look it up, I'm not your personal culinary instructor).
- Season the inside of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Don't be stingy, you donkey.
- Stuff each chicken breast with cooked broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Pack that shit in there real good.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks so your precious filling doesn't escape, like your motivation to actually cook a decent meal.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown on each side, because we're not about that pale, flabby chicken life here.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted to gooey perfection.
- Remove the toothpicks (if you forget this step, you don't deserve to enjoy this meal).
- Serve that cheesy, broccoli-stuffed goodness on a plate and revel in your culinary triumph, you magnificent home chef, you.
Stop sitting there staring at this recipe like it owes you money. Get off your lazy ass, gather the ingredients, and start cooking. Your taste buds will thank you, you ungrateful cretin.
