Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken and Asparagus: Begin by trimming the woody ends off the asparagus spears and set them aside. Next, carefully slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create a pocket, taking care not to cut all the way through.
-
Make the Coating Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the butter, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and white wine. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the butter mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
-
Stuff the Chicken: Place three asparagus spears into each chicken breast pocket, then roll them up tightly. Secure each roll with a toothpick to keep the filling intact.
-
Prepare the Topping: In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley together. Roll each stuffed chicken breast in this mixture until well coated.
-
Bake the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the chicken rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the toothpicks and serve the chicken with a side of hollandaise sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
This Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Asparagus recipe not only provides a delightful combination of flavors but also presents beautifully on the plate, making it the ultimate dish for gatherings or special dinners. Enjoy!
