Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast cutlets or chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 8 lices Provolone cheese
- 3/4 pound asparagus washed and woody ends snapped off
- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped, drained and blotted dry with a paper towel
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sun dried tomato oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Lay all chicken cutlets down onto a clean cutting board. You should have about 8-4 oz cutlets. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
- Fill with 3-4 asparagus spears, one slice of provolone cheese, and a few pieces of sun dried tomatoes. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Once all the chicken cutlets are filled, sprinkle the other side with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil (or sun dried tomato oil) in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown all sides of the stuffed chicken. It's ok if they don't cook thoroughly...you're just wanting to sear them to get a little color.
- Once chicken is completely browned, transfer to prepared baking pan and bake 15-20 minutes* or until the chicken registers at 165° F and cheese is all melted. (Be sure to stick your internal thermometer into a thicker part of the chicken, not just into the center of the roll.) Serve hot.

Notes
- *The bake time on these greatly depends on the thickness of your chicken. Keep an eye on them to ensure you do not overcook!
