Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high
- Pound chicken breasts to an even about ½ inch thickness
- Place a slice of cheese in the center of each chicken breast.
- Layer the basil on top of the cheese, then place 3 spears of asparagus on the basil.
- Roll chicken around the stuffing contents, and use a toothpick to secure them.
- Brush oil on all sides and season with salt & pepper
- Squeeze lemon over each roll, and sprinkle with lemon zest
- Grill with the lid closed about 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Internal temperature should be 165°
- Allow chicken to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Optional Sour Cream Sauce
- In a saucepan, over medium heat whisk ½ cup sour cream, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoon white wine, just until heated through.
- Drizzle sauce over cooked chicken.
Notes
- To pound chicken, place flat between plastic, such as a freezer bag, or between 2 sheets of parchment. With a mallet, start pounding the thickest part of the chicken breasts until they are an even thickness.
- Substitute any cheese for the provolone.
- Use extra basil if you don't have larger leaves.
- If your asparagus spears are very thin, use more for each bundle.
- To cook the stuffed chicken breasts in the oven, preheat the oven to 375° Place stuffed breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
