Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test. 1. **Fill.** Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Gruyere and minced garlic. Butterfly each chicken breast without separating the halves. Fill with cheese mixture and asparagus, fold shut and fasten with toothpicks. 2. **Season.** Mix Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper, then coat chicken exteriors. 3. **Cook.** Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium. Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven for about 20 minutes, until cooked through. Rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. ## Attention timeline Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate. ## Flavor and capacity ## Nutrition per serving Calories: 349 kcal; protein: 33.0 g; total carbs: 2.6 g; fiber: 0.4 g; net carbs: 2.2 g Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion. Known allergens for these plates: egg, milk. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate. ## Sources - [Annie Holmes: Asparagus Stuffed Chicken (low carb + keto)](https://www.maebells.com/?p=12585) - [FoodSafety.gov: safe minimum internal temperatures](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) - [Resolved publisher source](https://www.maebells.com/asparagus-stuffed-chicken-low-carb-keto/) These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers.
