Chicken breasts, albeit a dinner staple, can sometimes be a little monotonous. But let me tell you this: slicing chicken breasts and stuffing them with cheese and asparagus make them anything but ordinary.

You’ll love this cheese and asparagus stuffed chicken breast with lemon butter sauce for many reasons. But perhaps mainly because it’s so easy to make. You only need less than an hour to get this tasty chicken dinner on the table. Here are the ingredients I used to make baked stuffed chicken breast:

• Chicken breasts – Be sure to buy boneless and skinless chicken breasts.
• Seasoning – I used a blend of dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion salt, and paprika.
• Asparagus spears – Don’t forget to remove the woody ends of the asparagus. For extra flavor, toss asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
• Mozzarella cheese – Or any cheese of your choice, like cheddar, parmesan, and provolone cheese. You can also make your chicken stuffed with asparagus extra creamy by adding cream cheese!
• Lemon butter sauce – I simply combined freshly squeezed lemon juice, butter, and a dash of minced garlic.

The boneless chicken breasts are rubbed with seasoning mixture and sliced on either side. They’re then stuffed with asparagus and mozzarella cheese. Then, I seared the stuffed chicken breasts until the exterior turned golden brown. Finally, I baked it in the oven with lemon butter sauce, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes. I then uncovered it and baked it for another 5 minutes.

This chicken stuffed with asparagus and cheese, being one of the best chicken and asparagus recipes out there, is already filling on its own. But I personally love pairing it with a bowl of mashed potatoes. Feel free to serve with your fave sides, and enjoy!
