"This is one of my favorite recipes. It is very easy to make yet, it looks very elegant and impressive. I made this for my parents last year for mother's day and they thought I had turned into a gourmet cook."

The Chicken Asparagus Bundles were very easy to make. They taste great and would be a perfect meal to serve company or to fix for a special occasion. They look very nice.....like a meal that you might be served in a restaurant.
