This dish is easy enough for a Tuesday, but looks pretty enough for company. It has a really fresh flavor and goes great with roasted potatoes or rice.

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).

This is the worst chicken recipe I have ever tried. The chicken was dry and tough, and the filling was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for less time.
