Chicken Asparagus Bundles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

16 -20 asparagus spears (approx 1 pound)
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 red bell pepper, sliced into 4 rings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Preparation

Steam asparagus for 3-4 minutes until barely crisp-tender.
Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap, and gently pound to 1/4 inch thickness (I have the butcher do this part for me to save time).
Place 4 or 5 asparagus spears horizontally across each piece of chicken; roll up to enclose asparagus and secure with red pepper ring.
Place chicken, seam-side down, in 9 x 13 baking dish.
Brush chicken lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bake in 375F oven for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
