CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
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

CHICKEN ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
This is one of my favorite recipes. It is very easy to make yet, it looks very elegant and impressive. I made this for my parents last year for mother's day and they thought I had turned into a gourmet cook.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place 4 spears of asparagus down the center of a 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 roll. Place the rolls seam sides down in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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.

- Use a sharp knife to cut a “pocket” into the side of each chicken breasts. I do cut from top to bottom so the asparagus can fit, but don’t cut the whole way through - you don’t want to fully butterfly it. If you do by accident - it’s fine! Because we’re going to wrap it in prosciutto.
- Sprinkle the chicken all over, inside and out, with salt and pepper. Stick 2 ounces of brie cheese inside the pocket of each chicken breast. Stick 3 to 4 asparagus spears in next. Wrap the chicken breast with a slice or 2 of prosciutto. I find that 2 slices really works best to hold everything (the cheese!) inside.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until the prosciutto is crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Pour the stock in the skillet.
