And here it is a recipe out of my imagination It all started the day my boyfriend stayed home sick and on the way back from work I decided to cook something different to cheer him up - as he is a big fan of asparagus I decided to create something with it - and voilą J Hope you enjoy it

Ingredients

2 or 4 chicken breasts (depending on size and number of people) 100g bacon cut into small pieces 4 bits of sun dried tomato 3 fresh basil leaves 100g asparagus cream cheese Tabasco Chicken broth grated cheese salt, pepper and butter to taste

Instructions

Heat the oven to 180 degrees
Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, combine the bacon, chopped sun dried tomatoes and basil also chopped.
Prepare the asparagus by cutting the ends on both sides and chopping the rest.
Add to the previous mixture.
Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco.
Add cream cheese sufficient to bind all the ingredients together.
Prepare the chicken:
Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board - with a knife make a transversal cut on the breasts to create a pocket where you gonna put the filling - cut carefully so as not to create holes in the breasts.
Place the filling in the pockets of the chicken breasts - taking care not to overfill - you must be able to close it
Close the pockets with the aid of cocktail sticks so that the stuffing does not come out during cooking
Butter an oven tray and put the breasts in it. Pour over the chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper and top each breast with grated cheese.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
When cooked, remove the foil and turn the grill to brown the cheese.
Serve with rice or fries

ENJOY !!!!
