THE BEST BROCCOLI AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ( or cubed Velveeta for a smoother sauce)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ( not a typo, another 1/2 cup)
salt and pepper
garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:

Add salt, pepper and garlic powder, and stir constantly until thickened.
Add 1/2 cup cheddar and the cream cheese, and stir to melt.
Add 1/4 cup of the broccoli pieces, and stir to combine.
Make chicken: Open butterflied chicken pieces …
