Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus trimmed
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the stuffing by mixing cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Add the trimmed asparagus to the cheese mixture and gently fold it in until combined.
  4. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally but not all the way through.
  5. Stuff each chicken breast with the asparagus and cheese mixture, ensuring they are well-filled without overflowing.
  6. Secure the pocket with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling inside while baking.
  7. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
