Don't let the steps scare you because they are all easy and it does not take that long to prepare once you get the hang of rolling up the chicken. This is also perfect for an elegant and romantic meal if you want to impress that special someone! I hope you try it!!

    I made 5 servings. I sent two home with my sister and cooked three for my household. I had two asparagus spears left and just placed them in the baking dish with the chicken rolls. You can serve with a white rice, a wild rice, a pasta of your choice or quinoa. Enjoy!
