Asparagus contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients help to reduce chronic health problems including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Asparagus also contains good amounts of inulin, which becomes a food source for good and healthy gut bacteria. Good bacteria in our digestive tract will help with better nutrient absorption, a lower risk of allergies, and lower risk of colon cancer.} makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
4 large chicken breasts
1 Tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest (optional, but amazing!)
sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to your taste
12 small asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
4 small slices high-quality mozzarella cheese
4 Tbsps sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp garlic salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees f.
Cut the chicken breast in half, length-wise, but just enough to make a pocket, as shown.
Rub the inside of the chicken breast with lemon zest, sea salt and pepper.
Place chicken on a cutting board and stuff each equally with the mozzarella, asparagus and sun dried tomato, then fold over. Insert a large toothpick to close the pocket.
Rub the chicken with a pinch of garlic salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large and oven safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side then place the skillet in the oven.
Bake in your preheated 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the inside.
Enjoy!
