Ingredients
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
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
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board. Season each breast with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Carefully slice each breast horizontally to create a pocket, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Take a slice of mozzarella and layer it with three asparagus stalks and a few sun-dried tomatoes, then roll tightly to fit inside the chicken pockets.
Secure the stuffed chicken breasts with toothpicks to prevent the filling from falling out.
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside.
