HOW TO MAKE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WITH ASPARAGUS

Combine salt, pepper and Italian herbs in a small bowl and set aside.

Cut a lengthwise slit in the chicken with a sharp knife to create a pocket. Do not cut all the way through.

Coat the inside and the outside of the chicken with the seasoning mix.

Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes or until a nice crust forms, then flip it over and repeat the process.

Add the asparagus, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds or until the liquid starts to bubble up.

Close the pocket with 5-6 toothpicks, return the chicken to the skillet, and place in the preheated oven.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an instant thermometer reads 165 degrees F or 74 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before removing the toothpicks. Garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
