Asparagus and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breast with Hollandaise Sauce

Yes, this does look very similar to a previous post, it was just so good I can't help but share!

This is basically the same as the Caprese Stuffed Chicken Breast but with a different filling and sauce. Three bites in, I turned to the Mr. and said "I think this is the best meal I have ever made..." and I meant it!

Ingredients for 2 servings:
2 chicken breasts
Seasonings- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
Asparagus- Amount depends on size of shoots
Shredded mozzarella cheese (or your favorite kind)
Seasoned bread crumbs
Hollandaise sauce- I just use the stove-top powder packet that is mixed with milk and butter. Cheating, but still tasty!
Choice of side- Roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, stuffing (I used stuffing)

Basically, start off by doing exactly like the Caprese Chicken, by pounding two chicken breasts with the flat side of a meat mallet until about doubled in size. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic power, and onion powder. Place asparagus shoots on top of the chicken so they stick over both sides of the chicken. I used quite a few shoots, but they were very skinny. Sprinkle with cheese. Roll up the two ends of the chicken to overlap in the middle. Stick with two toothpicks to keep the chicken from unraveling while baking. Like so,

Place in a greased glass baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165.

Meanwhile, make the hollandaise sauce according the packet, or be cool and make it homemade. Also prepare the side, whatever that may be. A vegetable is incorporated into the main entree, so you can get by with just something starchy like potatoes, rice, etc.

Once the chicken is done, place on a plate and drizzle generously with the hollandaise sauce. Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the deliciousness!
