Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1½ cups finely chopped broccoli (lightly steamed)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional topping)

Ingredient Notes

Chicken Breasts: Pound them to even thickness for easy rolling and even cooking.

Broccoli: Lightly steam beforehand to soften slightly while keeping a bit of texture.

Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds bold flavor and that gooey, melty center.

Cream Cheese: Creates a creamy filling that holds everything together beautifully.

These ingredients work together to create a rich, creamy filling wrapped inside juicy baked chicken.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pound until about ½ inch thick. This makes them easier to roll and ensures even baking.

Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Broccoli Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Mix until creamy and well combined. The filling should be thick, cheesy, and slightly chunky from the broccoli.

Step 3: Roll and Secure

Spoon the broccoli cheddar mixture evenly onto each chicken breast. Spread it gently, leaving a small border around the edges.

Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.

Place the rollups seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.

Step 4: Add the Cheesy Topping

Brush the tops lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over each roll.

This creates a golden, bubbly, slightly crispy top layer once baked.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

The cheese should be melted, bubbly, and lightly golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Slice carefully and enjoy that creamy, cheesy center!

Serving Suggestion

These Keto Broccoli Cheddar Chicken Rollups pair beautifully with:

• Garlic butter zucchini noodles
• Cauliflower mash
• Roasted asparagus
• Simple side salad with olive oil dressing

For extra richness, drizzle with a little melted butter or a spoonful of keto-friendly Alfredo sauce.

Pro Tips & Variations

Want to change things up? Add crispy bacon bits to the filling for smoky flavor. Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you like a little heat. You can even mix in chopped spinach for extra greens.

If the chicken breasts are very thick, butterfly them before pounding to make rolling easier. For meal prep, assemble the rollups ahead of time and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.

Leftovers store beautifully and reheat well, making this an ideal healthy meal prep option.

• Freezer: Freeze cooked rollups up to 2 months
• Reheating: Warm in oven at 325°F or microwave gently
