BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I've taken the classic flavors of broccoli Cheddar soup and transformed them into a filling for baked chicken breasts. But feel free to grab whatever cheese, herbs and spices you've got and use those instead. This recipe would also work great with cauliflower and/or any type of cheese that has a decent melt factor. Firmer cheeses like Parmesan and Gruyère would be welcome additions, but I'd steer clear of anything that's extra-soft (think Brie or mascarpone) because we want the filling to stay intact.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl then add 2 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl (a large plate works best) then microwave for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli to paper towels, drain very well and let cool slightly.
- Chop the broccoli into small, pea-sized pieces then return it to the bowl. Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through to the other side.
- Divide the broccoli mixture among the chicken breasts, pressing it firmly into each pocket.
- Season the outsides of the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other preferred spices.
- Divide the olive oil among two ovenproof skillets set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook the chicken until seared on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip it once and cook until seared on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the skillets to the oven and continue cooking the chicken breasts until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and serve.
CHEESY BROCCOLI-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I don't like eating soup seating the summer months, so I created this stuffed chicken breast to satisfy a craving for broccoli and cheese soup.

Steps:

- Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast with a sharp knife. Stuff each breast with broccoli-cheese mixture, place in the prepared casserole, and sprinkle with poultry rub. Cover casserole with aluminum foil.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST AND ROASTED BROCCOLI
This bone-in, whole chicken breast stays juicy in the oven, especially with stuffing tucked under the skin. If you can't find a roaster chicken breast, a 3 1/2-pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast half works just as well -- simply increase cooking time to 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine bread, celery, sage, onion, cranberries, and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Working from neck end of chicken, use fingers to loosen skin from flesh, and separate skin from center breast bone with a paring knife. Generously season under and over skin with salt and pepper.
- Place stuffing under skin, distributing evenly. Rub skin with 1 tablespoon oil, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
- While chicken is resting, toss broccoli with remaining 2 tablespoons oil on another baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once. Remove breast from bone, slice crosswise, and serve chicken with broccoli.

BROCCOLI-STUFFED CHICKEN
I was born in 1936 to a family of eight. Much of our food came from our garden and the henhouse at the back of our city lot. Mother served fried chicken every Sunday, but sometimes she surprised us with this creation. No arguments then as to who got what piece of chicken! -Donald Laugherty, Connellsville, Pennsylvania

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN
This cheesy broccoli chicken is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. By buying thin-sliced chicken cutlets, you save yourself the work of slicing them yourself, however feel free to cut regular-sized chicken breasts if you prefer. Slice in half horizontally, then pound thin to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Feel free to change up the flavor of The Laughing Cow® cheese for variety.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange bun pieces in a single layer. Bake until dry and light golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a medium bowl and let cool. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to bowl with bread. Add egg and 2 tablespoons water and toss to combine.

- Remove sheet from oven and place vegetables and lemon around chicken. Roast 30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced between breast and thigh (an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees). Let chicken rest 10 minutes; scoop out stuffing and carve bird. Refrigerate 1 cup broccoli for another use. Serve chicken with stuffing, lemon, and remaining vegetables.
