Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

First, peel the asparagus and cook until al dente. In the meantime, cut a pocket into the chicken breast and spread it with cream cheese. Then fill each with half a slice of cooked ham, a slice of mozzarella, and some onion. Season with salt and pepper and sear briefly on both sides. Line the bottom of a baking dish with the asparagus. Place the stuffed chicken breasts on top. Slice the remaining mozzarella and spread it on top. Brown the crushed garlic clove and the remaining finely diced onion in the drippings. Top up with a little asparagus stock and add the remaining ingredients to create a creamy sauce. Pour this over the chicken breasts and bake everything in the oven at 180°C fan/convection oven for about 30 minutes. Served with boiled potatoes.
