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.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH CAPER SALSA
Caprino fresco is a soft, tangy Italian goat cheese, and here, it lends a deep creaminess to a caper salsa that is draped over grilled asparagus. The recipe, from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi, is quickly prepared. Bread may be needed to sop up the rest of the salsa. (If caprino fresco isn't available, try another soft goat cheese, like chèvre.)

Steps:
- Fill a medium-size pot with cold water, and place it over high heat. When the water boils, add the asparagus, and blanch for 1 minute. Drain the asparagus, and rinse it immediately under cold water. Drain the asparagus again and place in a medium bowl, with 1 tablespoon of the oil, a pinch of salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix gently, and set aside.
- Light a charcoal or gas grill, or place a grill pan on the stove over high heat. Once it is hot, add the asparagus in batches, and grill for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, turning a few times, until the spears are lightly charred. Transfer to a large platter with all the tips facing in one direction.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix together the capers with the remaining tablespoon of oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Add the goat cheese to the mixture, stir gently and spoon over the asparagus.

Steps:
- Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
- Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
- To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are firm and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody bottoms.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Remove the asparagus from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Wrap the asparagus with chicken: Lay a chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Place an asparagus spear in the center of the chicken breast and wrap the chicken around the asparagus. Secure the chicken with a toothpick.
- Cook the chicken-wrapped asparagus: You can cook the chicken-wrapped asparagus in a variety of ways. You can bake it in the oven, grill it, or pan-fry it. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
- Make the lemon caper sauce: While the chicken-wrapped asparagus is cooking, you can make the lemon caper sauce. To make the sauce, whisk together lemon juice, capers, olive oil, garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Chicken-wrapped asparagus with lemon caper sauce is 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 lemon caper sauce is tangy and bright. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
