Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 pieces Roasted red peppers
• 12 pieces Asparagus spears
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being cautious not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cut the roasted red peppers into strips and trim the asparagus spears to fit inside the chicken breasts.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with 3 asparagus spears, a few strips of roasted red peppers, and about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to keep the stuffing in place.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully discard the toothpicks.

Step 11

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your Roasted Red Pepper Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
