A delicious and easy recipe for stuffed chicken with asparagus and cheese, perfect for a healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Season inside and out with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Fill each breast with asparagus, shredded cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and chili flakes. Stir and let simmer.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, cover, and cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes until fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Drizzle with the rich garlic sauce and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serving suggestion: pair with roasted potatoes, rice, or a fresh salad.
  • A light yogurt garlic dressing or lemon herb sauce enhances the flavors beautifully.
  • For a healthier version, reduce butter and use low-fat cheese.
  • For a keto option, serve with sautéed vegetables instead of carbs.
