Method
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a little oil. 2. With a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. 3. Season the chicken, inside and out, with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. 4. Stuff each breast with 4–5 asparagus spears and a generous handful of shredded cheese. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed. 5. Heat olive oil in an oven‑safe skillet over medium heat. 6. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust. 7. Transfer the skillet to the oven, or move the chicken to your prepared baking dish. 8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Notes
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving warm.
