Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12–16 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  7. Transfer to baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice.

Notes

  • Searing adds flavor but can be skipped for a lighter version.
  • Do not overcook to keep chicken juicy.
  • Use fresh asparagus for best texture.
  • Secure with toothpicks to hold filling in place.
  • Customize with different cheeses or vegetables.
