INSTRUCTIONS
Place chicken breasts halves between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap.
Pound slightly with mallet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbs of
olive oil in large skillet. Cook chicken over high heat for 4 minutes on
each side. Don not cook longer or they will be over-cooked and dry.
Transfer to baking pan. Prepare asparagus. In a small pan, cook in water
until tender. Drain. To assemble, place one piece of ham on each chicken
breast and top with one slice of baby swiss cheese and two spears of
asparagus. Fold breast over and close with toothpick. Bake at 350 degrees
for 15 to 20 minutes. For sauce, saute onions and mushrooms in skillet in
remaining butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil until onions are clear. Add sour
cream and garlic powder. Heat until warm, stirring constantly. Pour sauce
over chicken and serve immediately.
