Spring and summer sure bring a lots of fresh veggies. There are so many delicious ones making it hard to decide which ones to cook with first. There are fresh tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, corn and asparagus. Asparagus is one of my favorites and a fabulous vegetable to cook with. This bright green veggie is packed with vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, copper, calcium, protein, and fiber. It has plenty of goodies that will help your body perform at its best.
This One Skillet Asparagus Stuffed Parmesan Chicken is loaded with asparagus, mozzarella and Parmesan all wrapped in a crisp fresh bread crumb coated chicken breast. The good for you asparagus helps to keep the chicken moist and it is all prepared in one ovenproof skillet. It is amazing and will give your taste buds a run for their money. Does anyone even use that idiom anymore?

Im excited to try this. It’s in the oven now. I had a hard time with the skillet rolling. How do you roll something with toothpicks sticking out of it?
Beth Pierce
With practice, the toothpickc can be almost weaved through the chicken and lay flat.
Gail Wilson
Turned out great and we all loved it. Made it easier by using Italian Panko rather than going through the crouton crushing and adding spices. Our grocery had thin cut chicken breasts that were perfect for rolling so even easier than splitting breasts. Oddly enough, they were the same cost/pound but I’m all for ‘easy’ so would have paid a bit more just to have evenly sliced portions. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!!
Beth Pierce
My pleasure Gail! I am so glad that you liked it!
Cindi McNiff
This recipe was a definite keeper!! My husband ( who is not usually vocal about recipes) was raving about this dish all through dinner!! Easy, relatively quick and one Pan to cook. Veggie salad and fried apples were our sides!! Thank you for this recipe!!
Beth Pierce
You are most welcome. So glad that you liked it. Your meal sounds wonderful!
Steve
Turned out good. Lots of work. Took 35 minutes to prepare even with cheating. Used Italian panko crumbs. Simply split breats and added asparagus and cheese. Just baked 20 minutes at 390, rather than rolling in skillet on stovetop.
Beth Pierce
Gotcha! Thanks for the tips Steve. Glad that you liked it!
Amber
This was really good. My kids loved it! I think next time we’ll try it with brie!

This was amazing! I made it last night at my daughter’s and got raves! I did kick up the spices a little in the breading and it was perfect!!!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Nancy! So glad that you liked it! We love it too!
Marianne
Is the asparagus raw? I would think such a short time wouldn’t cook it through?
Beth Pierce
No. It cooks just perfectly. Asparagus should not be overcooked. It is best when it is just a tiny bit crisp.
Stephanie
