Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Asparagus and Mozzarella
Ingredients List
-
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
salt and black pepper to taste
-
8 asparagus spears, trimmed
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
¼ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic (resealable freezer bags work great) on a flat, sturdy surface. Use the smooth side of a meat mallet to gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Arrange four asparagus spears in the center of each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella. Roll the chicken around the filling to form tight, neat rolls. Place the chicken, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center, and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
