Recipe Introduction
Posted by: jd_az
List of Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
20 fresh or frozen asparagus spears, trimmed (if frozen may need to increase cooking time)
Havarti or other cheese, if desired (I recommend the Havarti)
4-1/2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup chicken broth
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350. Flatten chicken breasts slightly. Wrap each around 5 asparagus spears & the cheese. Secure with toothpicks. Place in a 10x9x2 inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Combine oil, lemon juice, and seasonings; pour over bundles. Cover asparagus tips with foil. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with onions. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until the chicken juices run clear and asparagus is tender crisp. Remove bundles to a serving platter and keep warm. (Here she just poured juices over bundles and served, so I did too. It kept the flavors concentrated in the oil) In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth; stir in pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened. Remove toothpicks from bundles, top with sauce.
