Asparagus-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 10 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons crushed butter-flavored crackers
  • HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with mustard; sprinkle with onion. Place asparagus spears down the center of chicken; fold over and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  2. Place seam side down in an ungreased 8-in. square microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 6-8 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Keep warm.
  3. For sauce, in a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Gradually whisk in egg yolks, lemon juice, water and salt. Microwave, uncovered, at 30% power for 30 seconds or until mixture reaches 160 degrees F and is thickened, stirring once. Spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with almonds. Remove toothpicks.
