Herbed Stuffed Chicken Breasts
With Roasted Asparagus


Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese, about 2 ounces
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 ounces Canadian bacon, finely chopped
  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray of your choice
Chicken Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Cut a horizontal slit through thickest portion of each chicken breast half to form a pocket. Stuff about 3 tablespoons cheese mixture into each pocket; close opening with a wooden toothpick. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes. Turn chicken over; place pan in oven. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until chicken is done. Let stand 5 minutes. Discard wooden toothpicks. Cut chicken diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with pan juices.
Roasted Asparagus Directions:
  1. Roasted asparagus: Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 pound trimmed asparagus on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray; toss gently.
  2. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
  3. Place asparagus in a large bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives. Complete the meal with a sliced baguette and a glass of crisp white wine.
