Steps:
- Prepare filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and saute until tender and translucent, about 6 minutes; be careful not to brown them. Stir in asparagus and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, about 5 minutes.
- Add goat cheese, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to the cooled shallots and mix to combine.
- Prepare chicken: Slice horizontally through each chicken breast, starting at the thinner edge and going 2/3 of the way through so they can open like a book.
- Spread 1/4 of the filling over the inside of each breast, leaving a 1/2-inch border uncovered. Close breasts to enclose the filling and secure with a toothpick if desired. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper over the breasts.

Pour wine and chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and maintain a simmer for 3 minutes.
