For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the flour mixture. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish before placing it in the oven. Ensure the chicken is cooked through by using an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace chicken cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap; pound with a mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepMash spreadable cheese with a fork in a bowl until creamy. Stir in broccoli and Cheddar until well combined. Spread mixture over the middle of each cutlet, then roll cutlets over filling and secure the edges with toothpicks. Dredge in flour mixture. (15 minutes)
04
StepHeat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken into the skillet and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (5 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 14 to 16 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving. (15 minutes)

Oct 30, 2024Make sure you secure the toothpicks well, otherwise the filling might leak out during baking.
