How to Make Asparagus And Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 3-4 asparagus spears (about 4-6 inches long, trimmed) in the center of each of 4 flattened chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each).
  3. Top each chicken breast with 1/4 cup (approximately 30g) shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Fold the sides of each chicken breast over the filling and secure with kitchen string or toothpicks in 1-2 places.
  5. Season generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
  6. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Add 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) of water to the bottom of the dish.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
