Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Partially cut the chicken breasts in half through the equator to create a pocket, leaving one side intact. It should open and hinge like a book.
- Whisk the flour and all seasoning together in a shallow dish. Close the chicken and dredge each breast in the mixture then transfer to a dry surface.
- Open the chicken and add 3-4 asparagus pieces inside each chicken breast then evenly top with Parmesan cheese. Fold chicken closed and secure with toothpicks. Rub extra flour mixture over the top to fix smudges.
- Melt the butter in the olive oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until nicely browned (it won't be cooked through). Transfer chicken to a plate, don't wipe out skillet.
- If needed, drain oil from skillet so you are left with about 1 tablespoon. Add shallot and sauté while scraping up the drippings for 2 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
- Whisk chicken broth with cornstarch and add to skillet along with heavy cream, lemon juice, capers, salt and pepper. Simmer until reduced by half and slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add chicken back to pan and cover with foil.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Serve with pasta (I love linguine), rice or mashed potatoes.
