Ingredients: 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts; 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1 lemon, zested; 2 teaspoons dried sage; 1 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed; 6 slices bacon, or to taste; 16 fresh asparagus, trimmed; 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves; 4 slices provolone cheese (optional)

Servings: persons

1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
6 slices bacon, or to taste
16 fresh asparagus, trimmed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 slices provolone cheese (optional)

1
Mix macadamia nuts, mayonnaise, lemon, sage, black pepper, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
2
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish with oil.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until crispy, about 10 minutes. Leave as much bacon fat in the pan as desired and drain bacon slices on paper towels.
4
Place asparagus in the skillet and cook in the bacon fat until bright green and nearly tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
5
Place 1 chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag on a cutting board. Pound chicken firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
6
Place provolone cheese and 1 to 2 slices bacon on each chicken breast; divide asparagus spears equally over the breasts. Roll chicken around the bacon and asparagus; place, seams down, in the prepared baking pan. Coat with mayonnaise-nut mixture.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until crumbs are browned and chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
