Chicken and Asparagus

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Trim your asparagus. Then fold 3 asparagus sprigs in two slices of cheese to go into the chicken breast pockets.

Step 5

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!

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Transfer the pan with chicken into the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is completely done.
