Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp All purpose seasoning
  • 1/2 tbsp Steak seasoning
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup Broccoli diced
  • 1/4` cup Sun dried tomatoes diced

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry and slice off any loose and fatty pieces.
  • Butterfly the chicken breast lengthwise. Be careful not to the cut all the way through.
  • Apply olive oil to both sides of the chicken breast and season with an All Purpose seasoning.
  • To make the stuffing, dice the sun dried tomatoes and the broccoli into small bite size pieces. Add shredded cheddar cheese and season with Dad's Steak seasoning. Mix the ingredients together.
  • Add a handful of the cheddar broccoli stuffing on one side of the breast and fold over the other side.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the stuffed chicken breast.
  • Preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set it for dual zone cooking.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breast on the direct side first. Sear 2 minutes per side and move them to the indirect side. Keep the chicken on the grill until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Depending on the size of the chicken, this may take anywhere from 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove the stuffed chicken from the grill and let it rest 5 minutes.
  • Serve the cheddar and broccoli stuffed chicken breast with a side of white rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Alternative stuffing ingredients include spinach, crispy bacon and bell peppers.
  • I recommend against using cream cheese. It becomes runny too easily causing it to melt out of the chicken.
  • Use toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
