Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (about 1 lb total)
12 asparagus spears, trimmed

½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper and pound them to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut each breast in half to create 4 thin fillets.

Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Lay 3 asparagus spears at one end of each fillet and roll tightly around them, securing with toothpicks if needed.

Heat butter or tallow in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the chicken rolls seam-side down and sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Lower heat, cover, and cook another 4–5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the asparagus is tender.

Remove from heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.

This year, Project 925 is raising money for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a book-gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, regardless of family income. Founded by Dolly Parton in 1995 in her hometown of Sevier County, Tennessee, the program has grown to reach children across the United States and several other countries. In 2023, the Imagination Library delivered its 200 millionth book, and by 2024, one in seven U.S. children under age five was receiving a book each month. Project 925 donations will help the program continue putting books directly into the hands of young children and their families.
