HOW TO MAKE ASPARAGUS STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

  • Preheat Oven: We recommend anywhere between 350-400F. For this stuffed chicken recipe we went with 400F.
  • Season the chicken: Place the chicken on a clean chopping board and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Create a pocket in the chicken: Start cutting each one lengthwise to create the pockets. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Start with the top thick part of the breast as shown in the how-to video down below.
  • Stuff the chicken: Add 3 springs of asparagus and a couple of pieces of sun-dried tomatoes to a mozzarella slice, then roll it to hold them inside. Stuff the chicken breasts with it. Close the pocket with a toothpick.
  • Cook on skillet: Heat oil in a large and cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add in the chicken and sear it until nicely golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  • Bake: Finally, bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink on the inside.

Enjoy,
