Chicken and Asparagus Bundles image

My husband is a big asparagus fan, so I had to try this recipe. It's a mainstay when I want something unusual but simple for guests. For variety, you can leave off the sauce and serve the bundles chilled for lunch. -Donna Lohnes of Wooster, Ohio

I made this dish for my family and they didn't like it. The chicken was dry and the asparagus was overcooked.
