Asparagus & Provolone Stuffed Chicken

*This dish was made by my husband last week so below is the recipe he made up on his own. I love #menwhocook

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts, skinless & boneless

Provolone cheese slices (1 slice per chicken breast)

Asparagus (3-4 per chicken breast)

Salt/Pepper

2 Eggs (beaten)

Flour

Italian Bread Crumbs

Pam or Butter spray

Grated Parmesan cheese

Butter or Margarine 

Additional supplies:

Plastic Wrap

Mallet/Meat Pounder

Baking sheet

Foil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put foil on baking sheet and spray Pam on foil.

Place chicken in between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to a 1/4" thickness.

Next, lay chicken's smooth-side on back of plastic wrap.  Place 1 slice of provolone cheese on chicken, then place 3 pieces of asparagus (clean and cut) on provolone cheese.  Roll the bottom of the chicken breast tightly into the cheese and asparagus, and then continue the process.  Use the plastic wrap to tighten and keep in place.

Put chicken on baking sheet and repeat steps on next chicken breast.

Once you have completed this process, melt butter in microwave and put into the flour.  Unwrap chicken (keep in place) and coat with beaten egg, then coat with flour/butter mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.  Place chicken on baking sheet.  Add salt and pepper on top for seasoning, repeat steps for the second chicken breast.

Bake chicken in the oven for 25 minutes.

Remove from oven and add the grated Parmesan on the top of chicken.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes.

ENJOY!
