Earl Cooks Meat Department's Asparagus Filled Chicken Breast with Cheese

For some time now, I have been trying to use my own resources rather than rely on that of others in my food preparation. Mostly I do. When I see something I think we would like, I figure out a way to do it and make it my own. Once in a while though, I see something and it calls to me. Such was the case on my first visit to a new market near me called "Honey Bee Produce Company". As it turns out, it is not truly new, because it is owned by Associated Foods, a giant grocery cooperative headquartered in Utah. 'BEE' that as it may, their stores (Macey's, Fresh Market etc.) are some of the best stores I shop at, and have the friendliest, most helpful people working there. In addition, their private label products (Western Family) are always good quality. Their meat is very high quality as is their poultry and seafood. Well back to my story...I saw in their fresh meat case something that caught my eye. A fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breast filled with fresh asparagus spears and cheese ready to cook at home for what I thought was a really good price. I bought 2,  1 for 'Turkey' (my wife) and 1 for myself. I brought it home and cooked it up. I had no instructions but I will detail what I did and it was very good. There are many good recipes for this on the Internet if you are making it from scratch, but I had no guidelines for one where it is partially prepared, so even though it is a breast, I 'winged' it.
Instructions

• Take the assembled breast and asparagus and season on both sides I used seasoned pepper because I was unsure of any seasonings inside the breast
• Into a HOT cast iron skillet, as some EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil). When the Oil shimmers, gently add the breasts to the skillet and turn to medium to BROWN. While the breasts are browning, heat oven to 325°.
• When all is browned, add a TBL of water to the pan, cover, and place in oven to roast for 15-20 minutes or until breasts reach 165° in the center of the thickest part.
• Remove from breasts from oven and from skillet, and allow to rest, covered for 5 minutes, covered with aluminum foil.
• EAT!

Conclusion

This was a very good meal. Next time though, I would add more seasoning and would top with a great Parmesan. I might also create a butter sauce from the pan drippings because Asparagus loves butter.
