Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts large
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 slices swiss cheese
  • 6 spears asparagus trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cutting each chicken breast lengthwise to create the pockets for stuffing, but be very careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Grate lemon zest on the insides of the pockets using a zester. Add Salt and pepper.
  • Place one slice of swiss cheese in each seasoned pocket, then add 3 spears of asparagus to the cheese and a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes. Use toothpicks to hold them all together with the stuffing in place.
  • With the pockets shut with the toothpicks, place the chicken in a hot pan, and sear the breasts until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Bake the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches 165 degrees internally.
  • Enjoy!
