Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place 4 spears of asparagus down the center of a chicken breast, and spread about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the asparagus. Repeat with the other chicken breast, and roll the chicken around the asparagus and cheese to make a tidy, compact roll. Place the rolls seam sides down in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

ONE POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil. Season the cut chicken with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray the skillet generously with with cooking spray or add enough oil to coat the bottom. Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté until nearly cooked, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken onto a plate and set aside.
- Coat the skillet with more cooking spray or oil and add in the onion and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add in the mushrooms and asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the vegetables for another 2-3 minutes or until they start to soften. Sprinkle the flour over the top of the vegetables and stir together until the flour taste is cooked off, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken back in with the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and milk and stir together until smooth. Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add in the cream cheese and stir together until smooth.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in most of the gruyere and cheddar cheese until melted, reserve a little cheese for the top of the casserole. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth then top the casserole with the remaining cheese.
- Place in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starts to turn golden brown. Serve the casserole as is or on top of rice or quinoa.
