PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  In a small skillet over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic and baby spinach until the leaves are completely wilted.

• 3

  Transfer the spinach mixture to a small bowl and stir in the crumbled feta cheese until well combined.

• 4

  Lay the chicken breast flat and use a sharp knife to cut a horizontal pocket into the thickest part, taking care not to slice all the way through.

• 5

  Stuff the spinach and feta mixture into the pocket and secure the opening with two or three toothpicks.

• 6

  Season both sides of the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 7

  Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

• 8

  Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.

• 9

  Arrange the asparagus spears around the chicken in the skillet.

• 10

  Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  Remove the toothpicks before serving the chicken alongside the tender roasted asparagus.
