CHICKEN / ASPARAGUS BUNDLES



Chicken / Asparagus Bundles image

Crunchy crust, cheesy moist chicken, and tender asparagus. Ingredients for a great recipe. My family loves these. I have also taken them to potluck and they were very well received. You can also switch the cheese to whatever you prefer. I have also added a slice of deli ham to these. Sooo good! I hope you try them.

Provided by Chef mariajane

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lb)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
12 asparagus spears, trimmed
4 pieces mozzarella cheese, 3 x 1/2-inch each
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, preferable panko
12 toothpicks
1/4 cup crisco vegetable oil or 1/4 cup canola oil
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pound chicken breasts so they are an even thickness. Place chicken breasts, nice side down so when they are rolled up they will be smooth.
  • Brush each chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoons mustard. Place each piece of chicken horizontally.
  • Place 3 asparagus spears and one piece of cheese down center of each piece of chicken. Don't worry the asparagus should stick out both ends.
  • Roll up chicken breasts and skewer with 3 toothpicks to hold together.
  • PLace breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dip each bundle in the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. When oil is hot, place bundles in skillet. Cook 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer bundles to prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove toothpicks and sprinkle with salt before serving.
  • TIPS: Panko (Japanese bradcrumbs) can be found in most grocery stores. They give your food a nice crispy texture.
  • To save time, buy chicken scallops that are already pounded out for you . They can usually be found at the grocery store in the refrigerated section, next to the boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Bundles can be assembled earlier in the day and refrigerated until ready to cook.
  • Replace the mozzarella cheese with any of your favorites - Brie, Blue chesse, Swiss cheese, etc.

Very flavorful chicken and asparagus dish with almost a hollandaise-inspired flavor with a little crunch from the Panko breadcrumbs. Quick and easy to prepare, the presentation is simple yet elegant. Great served with artichokes!

Provided by Monica

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
16 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
  • Cook asparagus in the microwave on High until bright green and just tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Set the asparagus spears aside. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • Place 1 slice of provolone on each chicken breast, and top the cheese with 4 asparagus spears per breast. Roll the chicken breasts around the asparagus and cheese, making a tidy package, and place, seam sides down, in the prepared baking dish. With a pastry brush, apply a coating of the mayonnaise mixture to each chicken breast, and sprinkle each with panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to make a coating.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crumbs are browned and the chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes.

Provided by Madenish

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and black pepper to taste
8 asparagus spears, trimmed - divided
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Place 4 spears of asparagus down the center of a chicken breast, and spread about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the asparagus. Repeat with the other chicken breast, and roll the chicken around the asparagus and cheese to make a tidy, compact roll. Place the rolls seam sides down in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are thin, woody, or have yellow or brown tips.
  • Trim the asparagus. Remove the tough ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or cutting them off with a knife.
  • Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus will help to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Season the chicken and asparagus. Season the chicken breasts and asparagus spears with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Wrap the chicken and asparagus bundles. Place a chicken breast on a piece of prosciutto. Top the chicken with a few asparagus spears. Roll the chicken and asparagus up tightly and secure it with a toothpick.
  • Cook the chicken and asparagus bundles. You can cook the chicken and asparagus bundles in a variety of ways. You can bake them in the oven, grill them, or pan-fry them. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.

Conclusion:

Chicken and asparagus bundles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the asparagus is crisp and flavorful, and the prosciutto adds a touch of salty richness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
