Love asparagus? You’ll want to give this easy stuffed chicken breast recipe a try. It’s a simple recipe for busy people or those just getting started on a low-carb diet.

Stuffed chicken may sound complicated, but it isn’t. It’s just a flattened piece of meat wrapped around a filling. To make this recipe, I just wrap seasoned chicken breasts around a few spears of asparagus. Then, I just bake it with homemade vinegar and oil dressing. That’s it!

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
Place 3 asparagus spears in the middle of each flattened chicken breast. Wrap chicken meat around the asparagus and secure with toothpicks. Arrange stuffed chicken in a baking pan then olive oil mixture evenly over the stuffed chicken.

Notes

A few ways to change up the recipe:

Chicken can be topped with cream cheese or provolone cheese before wrapping around asparagus.
A low-carb “breading” made with seasoned almond flour or crushed pork rinds can be used to coat the chicken.
Each piece can be wrapped in bacon slices.
Marinara sauce can be used in place of the dressing and then topped with mozzarella cheese.
