Cheesy Cream of Mushroom Chicken stuffed with Asparagus

A family favorite kind of comfort meal. Juicy chicken stuffed with cheese and asparagus, baked in a creamy mushroom wine sauce until it’s bubbly, golden, and impossible not to love. 

Quick Tips

• Pound the chicken evenly so it rolls up without tearing.

• If you don’t have canned asparagus, fresh works too — just blanch it for a couple minutes first.

• Dry white wine adds brightness, but chicken broth is a fine substitute.

• Let the chicken rest before slicing so the filling stays put.

• Save the extra mushroom sauce for spooning over rice or mashed potatoes.

Cheesy Cream of Mushroom Chicken stuffed with Asparagus

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 45 MinTotal time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, pounded thin
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 4 slices cheddar (or American) cheese
• 1 can (15 oz) asparagus spears, drained
• 1 can (22.6 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• Splash of water
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Place one slice of provolone and one slice of cheddar inside each chicken breast. Lay half of the asparagus in the center of each (using up the entire can). Sprinkle with garlic powder.
3. Roll chicken tightly around filling and set seam-side down in a casserole dish.
4. Lay remaining provolone and cheddar slices over the top of each chicken.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk cream of mushroom soup, wine, and splash of water until smooth. Pour evenly over chicken. It may appear thick at first, but it will thin out while it bakes.
6. Sprinkle with paprika, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic salt.
7. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is golden.
8. Let rest a few minutes, then sprinkle with parsley & paprika. You’ll have plenty of extra sauce, so be sure to spoon some over the tops of your chicken (or on the side) before serving.
