🥘 Ingredients

• 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning mix
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• 12 asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
• 1 oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken on a clean chopping board and generously sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and pepper.
3. Cut the chicken: Carefully slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff the chicken: Place 3 asparagus stalks and a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes on each slice of mozzarella cheese. Roll up the cheese to enclose the asparagus and tomatoes, and stuff each chicken breast with the rolled mozzarella mixture.
5. Secure the chicken: Use a toothpick to close the pocket in each chicken breast, ensuring the filling stays inside during cooking.
6. Sear the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until they are golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.
7. Bake the chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
8. Serve and enjoy: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious asparagus stuffed chicken breast!
