"This is very simple. Not a lot of ingredients and pretty healthy. No big flavor sauces."

ingredients

• 6 boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 lb fresh asparagus
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

directions

1. Wash and snap the woody ends from the asparagus. Blanch in salted boiling water for 1 minute (or more depending on your preference for the doneness of the veg). Shock in ice water to stop cooking process. Drain on a dish cloth. Divide into 6 equal portions.
2. Lay one chicken piece flat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay bundle of asparagus on one short side of the chicken and roll up tightly, securing with a tooth pick. Repeat.
3. Heat oil in non stick pan over medium heat. Place rolls pick side down. Sprinkle a little more salt and pepper over the rolls and brown on all sides. Pour lemon juice over the rolls and finish in a 350 degree oven until the chicken is done and the asparagus is warmed through.
4. Serve. I served them with mushroom risotto and fresh steamed carrots. Great.
