Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Be cautious not to cut through completely.
Stuff the Chicken:
In a mixing bowl, toss the blanched asparagus with garlic, mozzarella, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Season and Cook:
Rub the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs.
Place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish and pour the chicken broth around the breasts for added moisture.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Serve and Enjoy:
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Pair with roasted potatoes, cauliflower rice, or a crisp salad for a complete meal!
