INGREDIENTS

• 4 Skinless boneless chicken breasts about 1 1/2 lb.
• 1 Tsp Italian seasoning mix
• 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 Tsp Smoked Paprika
• 12 Asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
• 1 oz Tomatoes chopped up
• 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Place the chicken on a chopping board and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper.
• Cut each breast lengthwise, horizontally, to create pockets. Be careful not to cut all the way through. Add 3 sprigs of asparagus and a couple of pieces of tomatoes to a mozzarella slice, then roll it to hold them inside.
• Stuff the chicken breasts with the rolled cheese. Close the pocket with a toothpick. Heat oil in skillet. Add the breasts and sear them until nicely golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes or the internal temperature reaches 165°F with an instant read thermometer. Enjoy!
