Bacon-Wrapped Chicken And Asparagus is a simple but elegant dish that is outstanding for the family and good enough for guests!
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12 asparagus spears
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices bacon
-
Preheat oven to 400º Line baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
-
Pound out of the chicken to approximately 1/2" thickness. Place chicken and pesto in medium bowl; toss to coat.
-
Cut asparagus to the approximate size of the chicken roll (so that the asparagus will not peep out too much from the end).
-
Place olive oil and Italian seasoning in a shallow pan or ziplock bag and toss asparagus until coated well.
-
Place 3 asparagus spears and top of the chicken with parmesan cheese. Roll chicken around asparagus and wrap each roll with a bacon strip (2 if necessary to get good coverage).
-
Place, seam side down, in a lined pan.
-
Bake, uncovered, at 400ºF for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear.
-
Broil 6 inches from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until bacon is crisped.
Enjoy!
