Chicken Asparagus Bundles

Ingredients:

    4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
    20 fresh asparagus spears (about 1 pound), trimmed
    4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
    2 teaspoons lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil
    1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup chopped green onions
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 cup fat free chicken broth

Directions:

    Flatten chicken breasts slightly. Wrap each around 5 asparagus spears; secure with toothpick.

    Place in a 13' x 9' x 2' baking dish coated with nonstick spray.

    Combine the oil, lemon juice and seasonings; pour over bundles. Cover asparagus tips with foil.

    Cover and bake at 350oF for 15 min. Uncover and sprinkle with onions. Bake 12 - 15 min. longer or until the chicken juices are clear and the asparagus is crisp tender.

    Remove bundles to a serving platter and keep warm.

    In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth; stir in pan juices.

    Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

    Remove toothpicks from bundles; top with sauce.
