What is Asparagus Stuffed Chicken?

Exactly as the title says, this is chicken stuffed with asparagus. But that’s not all… It’s so much more than that! There is the cheese that melts and becomes the base of the filling. Then, you put in your stalks of asparagus. The best part is the seasoning rub that goes on top! Made with some spices like chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, and more, this seasoning really takes the flavor of this chicken to the next level! Not only do the spices brings in a delightful array of flavors, but it carmelizes with the brown sugar and creates a sauce while it cooks that adds so much moisture to the chicken.

Ingredients in Asparagus Stuffed Chicken

Once you have your chicken and your asparagus all ready to go, the rest of these ingredients are simple and easy. Gather up your spices because this chicken packs a punch when it comes to flavor! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Chicken Breasts: I like to use large chicken breast for this recipe. Make sure that they are all similar in size so that they will cook evenly and at the same time. Mozzarella Cheese: I used sliced mozzarella cheese because it completements the other flavors so well and adds in a great texture too! Asparagus Stalks: Your asparagus stalks should be firm and the tips shouldbe tightly closed when you are picking your asparagus. Brown Sugar: This adds in a sweet, deep flavor. Chili Powder: The chili power adds in a lot of flavor. To crank up the heat, add a little more! Paprika: Paprika is sweet and blends so well with the other spices. Italian Seasoning: You can use store-bought or, if you want, you can try out this homemade Italian seasoning instead! Garlic Powder: I love using garlic any chance that I get and this subtle flavor tastes delicious with the chicken. Salt and Pepper: The final seasonings to take this chicken to the next level! Olive Oil: You will use this to cook the chicken in as you sear each side.

How to Make Asparagus Stuffed Chicken

This whole recipe takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish! So it’s an excellent meal for any of those busy, on-the-go nights, but it tastes like you spent all day working in the kitchen!

If you want the best, let it rest! A lot of times, people will skip this part… Don’t! It’s so easy and SO important! Once your meat is done cooking and out of the oven, leave it alone! This is the moment where your meat is locking in all of the juice and can dry out if you cut into it soon.High Temperature: If you are worried about drying out your chicken or burning it, don’t be tempted to lower the temperature. A lower temperature means that you have to cook your chicken longer, therefore drying it out! The high temperature and lower cooking time is what will deliver on the juicy, tender inside!

Refrigerate: Wait until the chicken has cooled completely and then place it into an airtight container. It can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge. To Reheat: You can place your chicken in the oven and bake it at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until it’s heated through.
