Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, butterflied (skinless, boneless)
  • 8 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (or provolone for a sharper flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh garlic for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika, smoked or sweet
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (Himalayan salt for added minerals)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Toothpicks, for sealing the chicken breasts

Optional Substitutions:

  • Cheese Swap: Use cheddar or gouda for a richer flavor.
  • Vegetable Alternative: Replace asparagus with spinach or broccoli.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use vegan mozzarella for a dairy-free keto version.

Instructions

Step1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Step2: Season the butterflied chicken breasts with paprika, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Step3: Place 4 asparagus spears and shredded mozzarella cheese inside each chicken breast. Step4: Fold the chicken breast over the filling and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold everything inside. Step5: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Step6: Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. Step7: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Prevent Cheese Leakage: Don’t overstuff, and be sure to secure the chicken with toothpicks.
  • Searing Tip: Sear on high heat to lock in the juices before baking.
  • Knife Tip: Use a sharp knife to butterfly the chicken cleanly.
