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!

Recipe 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.
