Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the chicken breasts 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 a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the asparagus, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper just until the asparagus is bright green and beginning to become tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Lay each chicken breast out onto a work surface, and place a slice of ham on the flattened breast. Place 1/4 of the asparagus mixture over the ham, and top with 1/4 of the Cheddar cheese. Roll the chicken breast around the filling and secure with toothpicks or tie with cotton kitchen string; place the stuffed breasts into a 9x13-inch baking dish, seam sides down. Top each breast with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a stuffed breast should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Baste the stuffed chicken breasts occasionally with pan juices while baking.
- While chicken is baking, bring chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of butter to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and tomatoes, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook the rice until tender and the broth has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and let rice stand covered for about 5 minutes; stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve stuffed chicken breasts on the cooked rice.

Steps:
- 1. Carefully open the breasts in half with a knife, and if you want to, flatten them (so they are big enough to be stuffed and wrapped). Then, season the breasts on both sides as desired (enough but not too much...remember that the bacon is salty).
- 2. Place the open breast on a cutting board and spoon about 3/4 cups of the rice on it and roll the breast firmly as a wrap. Then wrap it with 2 or 3 slices of bacon. Do the same with the other 3 breasts.
- 3. Place the stuffed breasts on a greased baking sheet or pan. Cook on a preheated oven on 350 for about 30-45 minutes (cooking time may vary from oven to oven and with the size of the breasts)
- 4. After cooked wait about 5 - 10 minutes before serving (until the juices are redistributed all over the breasts) Cut in halves and serve with salad... enjoy it!
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken breasts have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked through by cutting into it with a knife. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- For a crispy crust, pan-sear the chicken breasts for a few minutes before baking them in the oven.
- To make the rice stuffing ahead of time, simply cook the rice according to package directions and let it cool completely. Then, mix in the remaining stuffing ingredients and store the stuffing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To save time, you can also use store-bought rice stuffing mix. Just be sure to follow the package directions for cooking.
- Serve the rice-stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Rice-stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
