How to cook deliciously - Asparagus-Stuffed Chicken Breast

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

Drain 8 mozzarella balls. Reserve any extra mozzarella balls for another use.

Slice chicken breasts by cutting lengthwise 3/4 of the way through. Open them like a book, then layer one side of each breast with mozzarella balls, tomatoes, and asparagus.
