Asparagus Chicken Roll Ups - serves 4
Taken from Cincinnati Seasoned: Savoring the Queen City's Spice of Life

Andy and I have had these for our main course with a salad. They work really nicely with a low carb diet, and could be modified by substituting the feta with fat free feta for a low fat diet. Easy and yummy:)

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or filets) 1 c(or more) of crumbled feta
1/4 c mild poultry seasoning Salt and pepper to taste
4 asparagus spears, cut into halves

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound the chicken between two sheets of wax paper with a meat mallet until flattened. Coat both sides of the chicken with the poultry seasoning and lay the chicken on a work surface. Arrange two asparagus spear halves in the center of each chicken breast and sprinkle with equal portions of the cheese. Roll up the chicken and secure each roll up with 4 wooden tooth picks. Arrange the chicken in a baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
