Chicken & asparagus

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Chicken Breasts, deboned and split
½ cup Shredded Part-skim Mozzerela
6 Asparagus Spears, washed and sliced into 2-3 inch length
Marinara Sauce (bottled or fresh
Rice or Small pasta
Italian Seasonings (Garlic
Plus your favorites)
V small amount of light oil
Toothpicks

Directions

Flatten each chicken breast and season to taste. Sprinkle a little of the mozzerella at one end of each breast. Lay one (or two if they'll fit side by side) asparagus length on top, cross-wise Roll the breast up and secure with toothpicks...you should have a bundle of chicken rolled cylindrically around the spear (e.g. like paper towels on a cardboard roll). The mozzerella should be at the center ONLY, not distributed throughout the roll. Repeat for all breasts.

Saute the breast-rolls in a LIGHTLY oiled frypan (as little as you can get away with) until browned. Pour Marinara Sauce over it all and simmer until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking. Serve over Rice or pasta.......WARN your guests about the toothpicks!

Enjoy!!! Lauretta
