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.

- To prevent the eggplant slices from becoming soggy, salt them and let them rest for 30 minutes before cooking. This will draw out excess moisture.
- When cooking the eggplant slices, be sure to use a non-stick pan and cook them over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning.
- To make the chicken parmesan filling, use high-quality ingredients, such as freshly grated Parmesan cheese and flavorful tomato sauce.
- To keep the asparagus spears from becoming overcooked, blanch them briefly in boiling water before assembling the roll-ups.
- To ensure the roll-ups are cooked through, bake them in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
