Who doesn’t love stuffed chicken? Like half of America, I am currently trying to eat healthier for the New Year. For dinner tonight I came up with this simple and light version of broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken, complete with a flavorful gravy. It was cooked on the stove top, and on the table quickly. I didn’t measure while making this, but the recipe should be easy to duplicate anyway. The cheese spread wedges really don’t melt, so pan frying is not a problem.
Easy Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken
Author: Robin Gagnon
This Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken recipe is low in calories, but easily pleases both dieters and the rest of the family.
Ingredients
- small chicken breasts (1 per serving)
- Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss Wedges (1 per serving)
- steamed broccoli
- Mrs. Dash Salt-free Seasoning (I used table blend)
- non-stick cooking spray
- clove of garlic (crushed/minced)
- chicken broth
- fat free milk
Instructions
- Pound out chicken breasts. (just put each between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with back of a skillet)
- Lift off top sheet of wrap and sprinkle generously with seasoning. Replace wrap.
- Flip over & remove top wrap and discard. Break up a wedge of the cheese spread, and line up on breast slightly off center. Add broccoli florets tops, in same area.
- Use the remaining piece of wrap to assist you in rolling the breast and forming it snugly.
- Spray skillet with cooking spray, put on med heat.
- Once hot, add the stuffed breasts. Cover.
- Gently flip the breasts a few times, to ensure even cooking. Don’t worry about the cheese melting out, it isn’t very meltable.
- Once cooked through, remove breasts and set aside. Drop the garlic in the skillet, add a generous splashes of broth and fat free milk and increase the heat to med-high, to quickly reduce and cook garlic.
- Pour the sauce over breasts and serve.

That’s an excellent stuffing for chicken breasts. I’ll bet it’s really tasty!

I’m going to try this. I’ve only done stuffed chicken with stuffing, but never cheese and broccoli. Looks awesome.
This sounds wonderful!
Looks yummy!
This recipe looks fantastic! I’m definitely gonna have to give it a try.
I love stuffed chicken with broccoli. I usually put mozzarella or a real sharp in mine as I’m not a swiss fan. They look so good.
This looks INCREDIBLE!!!
Would happen to know (approximately) how many calories this has? It looks amazing, and I can’t wait to try it!
Somewhere around 200, with the sauce.
this recipe looks great, ! I think i might have to make it and wrap it in bacon! nom nom nom
Nice combination of chicken and broccoli No doubt….but one can also try it with cabbage instead of broccoli.
Any way…nice work…!
Great recipe…I’ll try it. Thanks for sharing!
Aww man… that looks so awesome AND it’s light? Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Good idea to use the cheese spread to fry in pan that stuff just won’t melt
Looks delicious! I can’t wait to give it a try.
These look REALLY good — I think this is going on our menu plan for this week … I needed a chicken dish!
Never thought of stuffing chicken with broccoli, yum!
I tried this and it all fell apart. I think next time I will use a cocktail stick to hold it together.
I haven’t had to skewer these, but do for other stuffed meat recipes.
Just finished making (and eating) this! Turned out pretty good! I skipped the brain damage of just rolling it and automatically used toothpicks to hold them, then removed the toothpicks before serving (obviously). Pretty easy recipe!
oh man. This looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes it deserves THAT many exclamation points! lol
