Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and broccoli looks impressive, especially with a side of tomato rice. Your guests will be delighted with this treat. The chicken breast is stuffed in an unconventional way: the filling is inserted into three deep slits on the surface. After baking, it looks very impressive. The breast is incredibly juicy and delicious. It bakes quickly, giving you just enough time to cook the rice in a spicy tomato sauce, and the whole dish will take you just over half an hour.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 230°C.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice until well coated.
- Add the tomato sauce and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, covered.
- Meanwhile, combine the broccoli, cheese spread, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Make three deep diagonal slits across the surface of each chicken breast (do not cut through). Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Fill the slits with the broccoli mixture and transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the chicken.
