Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus Trimmed and steamed
  • 8 oz cream cheese Can substitute with a non-dairy version
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For drizzling
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Optional for extra flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam them for about 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the steamed asparagus until well coated.
  4. Carefully make a pocket in each chicken breast, then fill with the asparagus and cream cheese mixture.
  5. Brush the outside of the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the chicken in a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Notes

For variations, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, or wrapping the chicken in bacon for added flavor and crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for up to two months.
