Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breast

 

·         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

·         12 Asparagus stalks end trimmed

·         1 oz Tomatoes chopped up

·         4 slices Mozzarella Cheese (I also like to use Swiss)

·         1 Tbsp Olive Oil

·         Preheat your oven to 400 F.

·         Place the chicken on a clean chopping board and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper.

·         Start cutting each one lengthwise to create the pockets. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

·         Add 3 sprigs of asparagus and a couple of pieces of tomatoes to a mozzarella slice, then roll it to hold them inside. Stuff the chicken breasts with it.

·         Close the pocket with a toothpick. Heat oil in skillet.

·         Add in the chicken and sear it until nicely golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes. 

·         Enjoy!
