Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 8 slices of prosciutto
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Season the inside of each chicken breast with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place 4 asparagus spears and 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese inside each chicken breast pocket.
- Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each stuffed chicken breast, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until the prosciutto is crispy.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
