Stuffed Chicken Breast with Asparagus Recipe is a savory delight that packs a punch of flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless (about 675 grams or 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon of mixed Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- 12 asparagus stalks ends trimmed
- 1 oz 28 grams of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 4 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 204 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise to form a pocket, ensuring not to cut through completely.
- Take three asparagus sprigs, some sun-dried tomatoes, and a slice of mozzarella cheese. Roll the cheese around the asparagus and tomatoes and stuff it into the chicken breast. Secure the pocket with a toothpick.
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on each side until golden brown, roughly 3-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside. Enjoy your deliciously stuffed chicken!
