Chicken and Filling
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup asparagus finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  6. In a bowl, mix the asparagus mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Stuff each chicken breast evenly with the asparagus mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  8. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
  9. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  10. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving or swap mozzarella for provolone cheese.
