Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to slice all the way through.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with 3-4 asparagus spears and about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the filling in place.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the toothpicks before serving and garnish with fresh parsley
