ASPARAGUS CHICKEN WRAPS
Oh my, these are so yummy! The sesame ginger marinade really gave this chicken great flavor. We made sure to add it to the chicken while cooking like Paula suggested and basting it just added to the great flavor. The bacon had a nice smoked flavor and the asparagus is tender yet still had a nice crunch. Delish!

Steps:
- 1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4" thickness. Place in gallon ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Let sit in fridge at least 3 hours (or up to 24). Rinse and dry asparagus.
- 2. A half hour before making wraps, set out bacon to soften for easier wrapping. Gather 5 springs of asparagus and wrap with chicken breast. Hold together and wrap 2 slices of bacon around chicken breast and asparagus, securing with a toothpick (once you get the hang of it, only one toothpick is needed). Place on indirect heat, lay down heavy foil or oven liner on grill. Cook over medium heat, turning carefully with tongs as not to unravel the wraps. Bacon will become crispy. Cook until asparagus is tender and chicken is done, about 45 minutes. I had an extra bottle of marinade, so I heated it and brushed them while cooking, saving the rest for extra sauce if anyone wanted it.
- 3. When done, I've melted a piece of provolone cheese on the top!
CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS WRAPS
It appears that there are a lot of steps to this but this is actually a very simple recipe. I cut it out of the newspaper sometime last year. I half the recipe and take these for lunch over a couple of days (as my husband won't go near asparagus).

Steps:
- Whisk together soy sauce, Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl until well blended; set aside.
- Heat oven to 200 degrees; place tortillas in foil-covered oven-proof dish in oven to warm.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat; add green onions, ginger and garlic.
- Stir-fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

- Stir in cilantro; remove from heat.
- Remove warm tortillas from oven.
- Divide rice among tortillas; add chicken-asparagus mixture.
- Drizzle with dressing; roll up tortillas.
- Serve with salsa.
Tips:
- Choose tender asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
- Use a variety of fillings. The fillings for asparagus chicken wraps can be customized to your liking. Some popular options include cream cheese, pesto, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Wrap the wraps tightly. To prevent the wraps from falling apart, wrap them tightly. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure the wraps.
- Serve the wraps immediately. Asparagus chicken wraps are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the wraps are crispy and the filling is warm.
Conclusion:
Asparagus chicken wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. With a variety of fillings to choose from, asparagus chicken wraps are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by everyone.
