Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, about ½ inch thick
  • 1 cup Progresso Italian Breadcrumbs or GF
  • 1- pound Asparagus rinsed with tough ends broken off
  • 4 slices Provolone Cheese smoked is best
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 eggs
  • 3-5 tbsp. Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Use enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Beat eggs in shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
  • Dip the chicken in the eggs and then breadcrumbs.
  • Brown the chicken on both sides. Add broth, cover and cook for 15 minutes. I cut into the chicken at this point to make sure it’s no longer pink inside.
  • Uncover chicken, lay whole asparagus on top of chicken (about 5 or so per breast).
  • Cover each breast with a slice of Provolone. Return lid to steam asparagus and melt cheese.
  • Serve over rice with sauce spooned on top.
