Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb.)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 asparagus stalks ends trimmed
  • 1 oz sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Place the chicken breasts on a clean chopping board. Sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Carefully slice each breast lengthwise to create a pocket. Avoid cutting through to the other side.
  • Insert 3 asparagus sprigs and a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes into each mozzarella slice, then roll it up to secure the filling.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with this mozzarella, roll and secure the pocket using toothpicks.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
