In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the sautéed asparagus and mix until combined.
Prepare the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part of the breast. Be sure not to cut all the way through; leave the sides intact to hold the stuffing.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Stuff the Chicken:
Spoon the asparagus mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the opening if needed.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve and Garnish:
Remove the toothpicks from the chicken, slice into medallions, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
