CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES



Chicken and Asparagus Bundles image

My husband is a big asparagus fan, so I had to try this recipe. It's a mainstay when I want something unusual but simple for guests. For variety, you can leave off the sauce and serve the bundles chilled for lunch. -Donna Lohnes of Wooster, Ohio

Time 1h35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
4 ribs celery, minced
½ cup grated carrot
6 large mushrooms, chopped
1 cup cubed corn bread
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
12 asparagus spears, trimmed
2 slices thick sliced bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add the celery, carrot, and mushrooms; cook until the vegetables have softened. Stir in the cornbread and Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • Lay the chicken breasts flat on a work surface. Create a pocket in each breast by using a paring knife to make a horizontal cut down one side; making sure not to cut all the way through. Stuff the breasts with enough cornbread mixture to make them quite plump. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 45 minutes.
  • While the chicken is cooking, divide the asparagus spears into two, 6-piece portions, and wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon. Place into a shallow baking dish, and bake along with the chicken during the final 20 minutes. The asparagus should be soft, and the bacon crisp when done.
  • To serve, slice the breasts on the diagonal into 1/4-inch slices. Fan the slices out into a half-moon shape on one side of the plate, and place an asparagus bundle on the other.

I saw the asparagus in the produce section today and decided to come up with a recipe for dinner tonight. This is what I came up with - both DH and myslef loved it. Easy enough for any day, but "fancy" enough for a dinner party. I served these with fingerling potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary.

CHICKEN / ASPARAGUS BUNDLES



Chicken / Asparagus Bundles image

Crunchy crust, cheesy moist chicken, and tender asparagus. Ingredients for a great recipe. My family loves these. I have also taken them to potluck and they were very well received. You can also switch the cheese to whatever you prefer. I have also added a slice of deli ham to these. Sooo good! I hope you try them.
