How to make cheesy asparagus stuffed chicken breasts

1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, to create a pocket. Season the chicken breasts on both sides.

2. Next lay the mozzarella cheese in the pockets, followed by 3 asparagus stalks and sun-dried tomatoes. Lastly, secure the chicken breasts with toothpicks.

3. Then comes the cooking part. First bake the stuffed chicken breasts in a skillet for 3-5 minutes just until it starts to look brown on the outside. Afterwards put the stuffed chicken breast in the preheated oven. This way the inside gets cooked well and you get juicy, golden brown chicken breasts.

Tips to make cheesy asparagus stuffed chicken breasts

Thaw your chicken early, if you are not using fresh chicken breasts. When cutting up the chicken in half, it is important to not cut all the way through. You want to create a pocket. Start cutting on the thicker side of the chicken breast, while laying your hand on top of it.

Use 2-3 toothpicks per chicken breast to close the endings, to make sure it’s secured and won’t fall open.

After cooking the chicken on the stove, we move to the oven. If you have an oven-safe skillet you can put the whole skillet in the oven, instead of putting the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet.
