Prepare the broccoli florets by chopping them into small pieces and steaming them.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups steamed and chopped broccoli, 12 cup minced bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 12 cup cheddar cheese, 4 ounces softened cream cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine thoroughly.

Make a mental note to put it aside. Combine thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.

Using a generous sprinkle of 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 12 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, salt and pepper, season the chicken breasts on both sides. Then, slice horizontally to create a pocket in the middle of the pie.

Fill each chicken breast evenly with the filling mixture, spooning it in with a spoon and securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Grease a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil and add the chicken breasts, cooking over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through.

Allow the chicken to cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. After that, carefully set the pan in the oven while it is still covered with aluminum foil.
