Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to broil with rack in upper third position. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Whisk 1 tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add chopped broccoli and stir to coat; spread evenly on half of the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, ¾ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in the same bowl. Add 4 chicken cutlets; toss to coat. Arrange on the other side of baking sheet.
  • Broil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of chicken registers 160°F, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Combine ¼ cup Cheddar, the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons bacon and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a medium bowl; stir well. Stir in the roasted broccoli.
  • Top each chicken cutlet with cream cheese mixture; sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Cheddar. Broil until the cheese is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F, about 2 minutes more. Dollop with 4 teaspoons sour cream; sprinkle with sliced scallions and the remaining 2 tablespoons bacon.
