Juicy Chicken Stuffed with Asparagus: A Gourmet Delight

Ingredients:

• 2-4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
• 2-4 slices Swiss or mozzarella cheese
• Garlic powder (to taste)
• Onion powder (to taste)
• Paprika (to taste)
• Italian spices (to taste)
• Salt and black pepper
• 8 asparagus spears, cleaned and trimmed
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 20 x 20 cm baking dish. Place each chicken breast between a resealable freezer bag and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides generously with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian spices, salt, and pepper. Lay 4 asparagus spears in the center of each breast, top with a slice of cheese, and roll tightly. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake for 25 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful, elegant dish!
