Chicken stuffed with Asparagus, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cheese
Chicken, asparagus, some cheese and sun-dried tomatoes are all the basics, needed for this easy healthy protein rich meal. Simply season with salt & pepper, use olive oil, and enjoy.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb chicken breasts, medium thickness
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, or Sicilian seasoning
- 6 oz sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¾ lb asparagus, 1 bunch
- 8 slices Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Pat the chicken breasts with paper towel until dry and not moist at all. Using a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast lengthwise stopping at the very end to create a pocket for asparagus. You should have 3 or 4 medium chicken breasts.
- Season each chicken breast generously with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Arrange chicken breasts on a cutting board or another flat surface, opened up. Add sun-dried tomatoes to each chicken breast.
- Trim your asparagus. Then fold 3 asparagus sprigs in two slices of cheese to go into the chicken breast pockets.
- Once asparagus with cheese is added to the chicken breast pocket, secure each chicken breast with a wooden food pick. Stuffed chicken breasts are ready to be cooked!
- Preheat olive oil and butter in a large stainless steel pan. Once the pan is hot, add stuffed chicken breasts and brown (without moving) on each side for 4 minutes, medium high heat.
- Transfer the pan with chicken into the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is completely done.
