  • Author: Crystal
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Tender chicken breasts stuffed with fresh asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes, and gooey mozzarella, seasoned to perfection and pan-seared to a golden finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Skinless boneless chicken breasts, about 1 1/2 lb
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 12 Asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
  • 1 ounce Sun-dried Tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place chicken breasts on a flat surface. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Make a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each pocket with 3 asparagus stalks, some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and a slice of mozzarella.
  5. Seal with toothpicks if necessary.
  6. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through.
  9. Remove from oven, let rest a few minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh, firm asparagus and quality mozzarella for best results. Secure with toothpicks to prevent stuffing from falling out during cooking.
