Instructions:
Prepare Broccoli:
Steam or boil 2 cups of broccoli until tender-crisp. Drain well and let cool.
Make Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled broccoli, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the softened cream cheese until well combined.

Assemble Rollups:

Lay out the chicken breasts on a work surface.

Spread an even layer of the broccoli mixture on each chicken breast.

Roll up each chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks.

Bake:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the chicken rollups on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Broil (Optional):

For a crispy topping, broil the rollups for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Serve: Remove the toothpicks and slice each rollup into 2-3 pieces. Serve immediately.
