CHICKEN / ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat mallet between plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thickness. Salt and pepper the chicken.
• 2. In the following order, dredge each chicken breast: melted butter, flour, egg, then bread crumbs.
• 3. Place asparagus spears in the center of the chicken, add about 2 tbsp shredded cheese. Wrap chicken around filling and hold together with toothpick. Place them in a glass baking dish.
• 4. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160.
• 5. For the sauce: While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small sauce pan. When melted, add flour and whisk making sure you don't have any lumps. Add the cream and cook until sauce thickens and lumps are worked out. Reduce the heat and add the tarragon. If the sauce becomes too thick, just add a little more cream. Plate the chicken bundle and top with tarragon sauce.
