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).

Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Lay the cutlets flat, and using a cooking mallet, pound each cutlet on both sides, until it spreads out a bit and is nice and flat. Sprinkle each cutlet with a little of the prepared seasoning. Blanche asparagus in boiling water for 2 minutes, then remove from pot. Place 4-5 asparagus spears in the center of each cutlet on top of the sprinkled seasoning. Roll the cutlets around the asparagus and secure them with toothpicks in about three places, one at each end and one in the middle. Holds them together nicely. Sautè prepared cutlets in oil in a large nonstick skillet for about two minutes on each side or until lightly golden. Then remove from the skillet and place into a large sprayed baking pan. Add onion to skillet and sautè for a moment. Remove onion from skillet, draining as much oil as possible, and place sauteed onion over each cutlet in the baking pan.
- 2. In a separate bowl: Whisk together the soup, milk and sour cream. Add any remaining seasoning to this sauce. Pour over top of all cutlets in the baking pan. Bake, covered with aluminum foil, at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until done. To serve, place one roll-up on each plate, gently remove the toothpicks, and cover each with a little of the sauce. Spoon remaining sauce into a bowl and serve on the table on the side so your guests can use more if they'd like.

- 1. How to Make it: 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, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.

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.

Steps:
- Season pounded chicken breasts lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Place 2-3 asparagus spears on each chicken breast half.
- Roll up tightly; secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
- Set aside.
- Combine flour, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp thyme and paprika.
- Roll chicken in flour mixture.
- Place onions and diced tomatoes on bottom of 13x9" pan, reserving 8 slices of onion for top.

- Combine broth with remaining salt and thyme; pour around chicken.
- Cover pan loosely with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose large asparagus spears: Thicker asparagus spears will be easier to wrap with the chicken and will hold their shape better during cooking.
- Blanch the asparagus before wrapping: Blanching the asparagus will help to soften it and make it more pliable, making it easier to wrap with the chicken.
- Use a thin, boneless, skinless chicken breast: This will make it easier to wrap the chicken around the asparagus.
- Season the chicken and asparagus generously: This will help to add flavor to the dish.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the chicken roll-ups: This will help to keep them from unrolling during cooking.
- Cook the chicken roll-ups over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the chicken roll-ups with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.
