Variations:

Cheese Swap: Try provolone, gouda, or Swiss cheese for a new twist on flavor.

Add a Kick: Mix some crushed red pepper flakes or sun-dried tomatoes into the filling.

Wrap it Up: For extra richness, wrap the stuffed chicken breasts in prosciutto or bacon before baking.

FAQ:

Can I use frozen asparagus?
Yes, just make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it to the filling.

How do I know when the chicken is done?
Use a meat thermometer—your chicken is perfectly cooked when it reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Assemble the stuffed chicken up to a day ahead and store in the fridge until ready to bake.
