Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breasts
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 8 -10 fresh asparagus tips
- 1 mozzarella string cheese, separated into strings
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried basil leaves
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Place breast between two sheets of wax paper and gently pound with the side of a glass until it is at least 1 1/2 times its original size
- Lay a few strings of the cheese across the center of the breast, then place asparagus tips on the cheese. Lay a few more strings of cheese over the asparagus.
- Roll the chicken breast up around the cheese and asparagus. I usually skewer the ends with a toothpick - just remember to pull it out before serving.
- Lay remaining cheese strings in a crisscross pattern across the top. Sprinkle with herbs and spices.
- Lightly spray baking dish with olive oil and place the stuffed breast in the center of the dish. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
