6. Rub the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and surround them with trimmed asparagus.
8. Drizzle a little olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
