Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open each breast like a book.

Step 3

Season the inside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Step 4

Place a few asparagus spears in the center of each chicken breast.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the asparagus.

Step 6

Fold the chicken breasts over the filling, creating stuffed chicken bundles.

Step 7

Place the stuffed chicken bundles on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Drizzle olive oil over the top of each stuffed chicken breast.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

For a golden finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the stuffed chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
