CHEESY CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES
I saw the asparagus in the produce section today and decided to come up with a recipe for dinner tonight. This is what I came up with - both DH and myslef loved it. Easy enough for any day, but "fancy" enough for a dinner party. I served these with fingerling potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary.

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.

Steps:
- To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and sauté briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Toss the cooled asparagus with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the asparagus into 4 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with one-fourth of the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once.
Tips:
- Choose asparagus spears that are thin and uniform in size for even cooking.
- If the asparagus spears are thick, peel the bottom inch of the spears to remove any tough outer skin.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts into thin strips or slices.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken strips or rotisserie chicken.
- Season the chicken and asparagus with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- If desired, add other seasonings or herbs, such as paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
- For a crispy coating, dip the chicken strips in flour or breadcrumbs before wrapping them with asparagus.
- Place the chicken and asparagus bundles in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake the bundles at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
- Serve the bundles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
