    Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Blue Cheese: the low carb chicken dinner you've been waiting for.

    asparagus stuffed chicken

    This stuffed chicken recipe appears way fancier than it really is - which I always find to be such a fun way to cook.  It uses the same method as my Spinach Stuffed Chicken: slice chicken breast in half, sear on one side, flip, and bake to perfection.

    how to stuff chicken

    Instead of a mixed filling, this uses stalks of asparagus and a blue cheese mixture that partially melts out of the chicken and into the pan to make a delicious, creamy sauce that is spooned over the meat before serving.

    So really, the pressure is off on this one.  Don't worry about making that picture perfect stuffed chicken breast. It's okay if this one is a little messy - because SOME of it is going to melt out anyway.

    And you want that!

    As for the asparagus, you want to find a middle ground here. Pencil thin stalks are going to cook too quickly, and the massive steakhouse style spears won't cook through!  If there's such a thing as a "standard" asparagus, go with that.

    Let the pictures be your guide here - three spears should fit perfectly into one breast.

    Pro-tip: Unlike my other stuffed chicken breast recipes, you are going to want to use toothpicks to keep the chicken closed on this one, otherwise it is way too easy for those perfectly selected asparagus spears to fall out of the chicken!
