Ingredients

2 pounds chicken breast cutlets or chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
8 slices provolone cheese
3/4 pound asparagus washed and woody ends snapped off
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped, drained and blotted dry with a paper towel
2 tablespoons olive oil or sun dried tomato oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Lay all chicken cutlets down onto a clean cutting board. You should have about 8-4 oz cutlets. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
Fill with 3-4 asparagus spears, one slice of provolone cheese, and a few pieces of sun dried tomatoes. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Once all the chicken cutlets are filled, sprinkle the other side with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil (or sun dried tomato oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown all sides of the stuffed chicken. It's ok if they don't cook thoroughly...you're just wanting to sear them to get a little color.
Once chicken is completely browned, transfer to prepared baking pan and bake 15-20 minutes* or until the chicken registers at 165° F and cheese is all melted. (Be sure to stick your internal thermometer into a thicker part of the chicken, not just into the center of the roll.) Serve hot.

Notes

*The bake time on these greatly depends on the thickness of your chicken. Keep an eye on them to ensure you do not overcook!

Storage + Make Head Directions

Allow chicken to cool to room temperature. Place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into a preheated oven or air fryer until warmed through.

To Freeze: Once cooked and cooled, you can freeze the stuffed chicken breasts in a resealable freezer bag. Just reheat in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes when ready to serve.

To Make Ahead: You can prepare the stuffed chicken breasts ahead of time, keep them in the fridge, and cook them when ready. This is one of the easiest ways to get dinner on the table quickly.
