I didn't expect much, especially since I used random ingredients and prayed they worked. There was a smokey sweetness that matched the asparagus well and created a wide range of flavors in a single bite.

Cooking Instructions

35 mins

1

Preheat your grill for a medium-high heat.
2

Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing lengthwise in half so they open like a book, but don't cut all the way through to ensure you can stuff the breasts.
3

Flatten if desired using a kitchen mallet, heavy duty hammer, or a really clean boot.
4

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
5

Lay 2 slices of provolone on each inside portion of the breast.
6

Add 3 garlic-seasoned asparagus spears to each breast.
7

fold the top layer back on top.
8

Wrap the chicken in bacon strips (about 4 strips per breast, depending on their size). Secure the first end to the chicken, ensuring the toothpick also holds closed the flaps of the chicken.
9

Overlap bacon ends and secure with a toothpick as mentioned in the step previous.
10

Right before placing chicken on the grill, pour some oil on a paper towel and use tongs to coat the grill grates.
11

Grill for about 10-12 minutes per side.
12

Cook the remaining asparagus along side the chicken.
13

Let rest for 5 minutes prior to carving/serving.
14

Serve hot with a side of the remaining asparagus.
