This Chicken Stuffed with Asparagus & Provolone is a great dinner party entrée to impress your guests. It's super easy and you can make it ahead and put it in the refrigerator without the bread crumbs.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise

3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 lemon, juiced and zested

2 teaspoons dried tarragon

1 teaspoons black pepper

1/2 teaspoons salt

16 thin spears of asparagus, trimmed

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

4 slices provolone cheese

1 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.

2Place a chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.

3Place 1 slice of provolone on each chicken breast, and top the cheese with 4 asparagus spears per breast. Roll the chicken breasts around the asparagus and cheese, making a tidy package, and place, seam sides down, in the prepared baking dish. With a pastry brush, apply a coating of the mayonnaise mixture to each chicken breast, and sprinkle each with panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to make a coating.

4Bake in the preheated oven until the crumbs are browned and the chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes.

Very nice recipe, but for us, I’ll use one of the Bleu Cheeses (perhaps Stilton) since we like a lot of flavor with our chicken (& also w/turkey). This is a nice & easy recipe, for which I thank you.
