Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 5 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
• 1 (10 ounce) can asparagus, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs together in a shallow bowl; add bread crumbs to a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place breaded chicken, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large 2-inch deep skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; brown on both sides. Add broth; arrange asparagus on top chicken and lay 1 slice cheese over asparagus on top each breast.

Step 3

Cover the skillet; cook until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
