Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

I find stuffed chicken breasts to be a bit of a pain to prepare. The filling always tries to ooze out and I never feel like I can get enough filling inside the chicken for my preference. That is why this Broccoli Cheese Chicken Breast Recipe is so great. It is basically like stuffed chicken but without the hassle. We are just spreading the ‘filling’ on top. The topping is cream cheese, cheddar and just enough broccoli buds to add that great flavor.
