Directions

Prep 20 minCook 25 min

1
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3
Lay 4 asparagus spears down the center of each breast and top each with about 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella. Roll up tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared dish. Sprinkle each roll with about 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs.
4
Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165° F.
