Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
- Cook asparagus in the microwave on High until bright green and just tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Set the asparagus spears aside. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
- Place 1 slice of provolone on each chicken breast, and top the cheese with 4 asparagus spears per breast. Roll the chicken breasts around the asparagus and cheese, making a tidy package, and place, seam sides down, in the prepared baking dish. With a pastry brush, apply a coating of the mayonnaise mixture to each chicken breast, and sprinkle each with panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to make a coating.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the crumbs are browned and the chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes.

ASPARAGUS CHICKEN WRAPS
Oh my, these are so yummy! The sesame ginger marinade really gave this chicken great flavor. We made sure to add it to the chicken while cooking like Paula suggested and basting it just added to the great flavor. The bacon had a nice smoked flavor and the asparagus is tender yet still had a nice crunch. Delish!

Steps:
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/4" thickness. Place in gallon ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Let sit in fridge at least 3 hours (or up to 24). Rinse and dry asparagus.
- A half hour before making wraps, set out bacon to soften for easier wrapping. Gather 5 springs of asparagus and wrap with chicken breast. Hold together and wrap 2 slices of bacon around chicken breast and asparagus, securing with a toothpick (once you get the hang of it, only one toothpick is needed). Place on indirect heat, lay down heavy foil or oven liner on grill. Cook over medium heat, turning carefully with tongs as not to unravel the wraps. Bacon will become crispy. Cook until asparagus is tender and chicken is done, about 45 minutes. I had an extra bottle of marinade, so I heated it and brushed them while cooking, saving the rest for extra sauce if anyone wanted it.
- When done, I've melted a piece of provolone cheese on the top!
Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus is more flavorful and has a better texture than canned or frozen asparagus.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus before cooking. You can also peel the asparagus if desired.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked asparagus is mushy and loses its flavor.
- Use high-quality chicken: The chicken in these wraps should be boneless, skinless, and cooked through. You can use grilled, roasted, or poached chicken.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The cheese in these wraps can be any type you like. Try using a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to these wraps. Use basil, parsley, cilantro, or any other herbs you like.
- Serve the wraps immediately: These wraps are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will become soggy if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Chicken and asparagus wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be packed for a school or work lunch. With a variety of flavors and textures, these wraps are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken and asparagus wraps a try.
