How to cook deliciously - Asparagus and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

2. Stage

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.

3. Stage

Place four asparagus spears down the center of each chicken breast, then top with mozzarella. Roll chicken around fillings to make tidy, compact rolls. Transfer chicken, seam-side down, to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle bread crumbs over top.

4. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Vanessa Bergen
