Very good, didn't roll them into bundles (just didn't have time). Added some garlic powder and they turned out moist and tender (so did the asparagus). I also left them covered the entire cooking time, not realizing half of the time if was to have been uncovered. <br/>Tip: For anyone having difficulty "pounding" out the breasts, first half them horizontally and you'll save yourself a lot of frustration :-)

I made a recipe similar to this one a while ago and i used mozzarella instead and didn't wrap it in string, instead i just placed the seam where the ends overlapped on the bottom and put italian bread crumbs on top and a piece of rosemary. Its really simple and tastes amazing!

Yum! This recipe is so easy and so good, I would make this again for sure. I did have to cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes longer as it wasn't cooked through. Make sure you use a good amount of lemon pepper because it's the only seasoning. Made for PRMR tag game. Thanks Debbwl! :)

Well I know why this was in BakinBaby's Best of 2010 cookbook! Absolutely delicious and so very moist. My teen DD who normally does not enjoy asparagus asked for some extra to replace what she had eaten out of the middle of her chicken. So very simple to prepare and purely wonderful. I'll definitely be using this recipe often. I did make one slight change and that was to use a garlic pepper grinder in place of lemon as I did not have lemon on hand tonight. Made for the Best of 2010 tag event!

We really enjoyed this dish. The asparagus and chicken was a lovely combo and will certainly make again. Made for holiday tag.
