Ready to roll?

It is entirely possible to make things in your slow cooker that come out looking attractive. This recipe is a fine example, and you also get to smash things on your kitchen counter during the food prep. Double win! If you don’t have a meat mallet in your kitchen yet, this recipe might help you see the light.

Ingredients:

3 or 4 boneless chicken breasts

6 to 8 slices of Prosciutto or spiced ham of choice. Usually about a quarter pound will do.

1 bunch of asparagus

Garlic cloves

Salt and Pepper

Instructions: (you get to smash stuff)

Filet your chicken breasts in half. You should now have twice as many pieces of chicken! Smash your chicken flat with a meat mallott. Using a piece of saran wrap between the chicken and mallet helps. Do smash the chicken on both sides until the chicken is tenderized and ready to roll. Trim your asparagus spears to your desired length for your rolls. Cutting off about half the stalk usually works fine. Place 3 to 4 pieces of asparagus along with a chopped clove of garlic inside your chicken. Proceed to roll up the chicken around the asparagus. Roll a piece of Prosciutto or ham around your chicken roll up and you are ready to go. Using a wooden tooth pick to hold your roll together is completely optional and is normally only necessary if you made a rather messy roll-up. Everything will bind together nicely in the cooking stages. Line the bottom of your slow cooker with the roll-ups and cook on low for 4 hours. That’s it!
