Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 14 minutes
Cook Time: 16 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
4 large Chicken breast
2 Tbsp Olive oil (light for a higher smoke point)
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
Sea salt
Black pepper
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
8 slices Provolone cheese
12 spears Asparagus (trimmed)
4 tsp Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
Place the chicken breasts into a large bowl. Fill with warm water and add a couple tablespoons of salt. Stir to dissolve. Set aside to brine for 10-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and grease.
When the chicken breasts are done brining, remove from the bowl and pat dry.
Butterfly each chicken breast - cut horizontally without cutting all the way through, then "open" it up so that it lays flat and is thinner. Use a flat-sided meat mallet to pound into a circle 1/4-inch thick.
Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. Brush one side of the chicken with the mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Flip over and repeat on the other side.
Spread minced garlic down the center of each piece of chicken. Top with 2 slices of provolone, then 3 trimmed spears of asparagus.
Roll up the chicken, with the asparagus and cheese inside. Place onto the baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with all the pieces. Brush the tips of the asparagus sticking out with any leftover oil/lemon juice mixture.
Sprinkle the chicken lightly with grated Parmesan cheese, if using, and smoked paprika.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, until cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
