Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, salt, and pepper. With a sharp knife, cut a slit through the center of each breast to form a deep pocket, taking care not to cut all the way through. Evenly stuff each breast with the broccoli mixture and set them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
