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?

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.

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.
