Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt & pepper
8 asparagus spears
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
1/2 c italian seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 375 degrees Grease an 8x8" baking dish
  • 2. lace each chicken breast between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of 1/4". Sprinkle each side with salt & pepper.
  • 3. Place 4 spears of asparagus down the center of the 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 rol.
