Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 chicken breast
  • 10-12 asparagus shoots
  • 50 g mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp G&K All-purpose spice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and trim the asparagus. For this recipe, I trimmed all the asparagus shoots to the size of the chicken breast.
    10-12 asparagus shoots
  • Next, stuff the chicken breasts. Place the breasts on a cutting board. Using the paring knife, create a pocket in the breast by cutting into the thicker part. Cut lengthwise just through the thickest part of the breast. See our video below.
    2 chicken breast
  • Open up the pocket you’ve just created and insert half the asparagus into the pocket. The quantity will depend on the thickness of your asparagus and the size of the pocket in the chicken breast.
    10-12 asparagus shoots
  • Top the asparagus with a slice of cheese and fold the pocket back over to enclose the asparagus and cheese inside. Secure the stuffing by pinching the outside edge of the pocket with a toothpick.
    50 g mozzarella cheese
  • Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper and G&K All-Purpose spice.
    1 tsp G&K All-purpose spice, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
  • Place the stuffed chicken on the lined cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve with your favourite sides.
