Directions:
Pre-cook chicken breast in pot of water till done (don't over cook)!. Lightly flour working surface, roll one sheet of puffed pastry with a dough roller to about 14" - 15" square!. Cut into 4 equal parts!. Place one chicken breast on each square!. Sprinkle with salt and pepper!. Place 3 asparagus spears and a few slices of olives on top of chicken!. Wrap pastry around chicken and asparagus!. Wet and pinch together all edges, making sure not to leave any openings!. Place pastries on a lightly greased (can use no stick cooking spray) baking sheet!. Bake at 350 degrees until brown, approximately 30 minutes!.

Sauce:

Hmmm lets see here,

You could do a lemon garlic chicken, if you have the ingredients!. Chop up some garlic and put if in a saucepan on the stove with some butter!. Squeeze in fresh time juice or add a squirt or 2 of bottled lemon juice!. Heat until melted, and the drizzle over chicken, and bake!. This is best with skin on bone in quarters, but works well with boneless skinless breasts as well!.

Or marinate your chicken in itallian dressing tonight and bake or grill tomorrow!.

Definitly do the asparagus and hollansdasie sauce!.

And as far as the squash here is a good idea!. Half it and scoop the seeds!. Bake until tender then cut in a criss cross pattern!. While it is baking combine 3 slices crispy bacon, 1 tbsp maple syrup (maple flavored syrup), and 1 tbsp balsamic dressing!. Drizzle over the squash, and cook another 10-20 minWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you have a bbq grill, i would say: with the asparagus marinade them by coating them with olive oil, minced garlic that comes in the jar, some pepper, and garlic salt!.!.toss that all together and put plastic wrap on it and let it sit over night!. Then the next day throw those on the grill, top it off with warmed up holandaise sauce!. If not grill, then put it in the skillet and almost stir fry them up!. The chicken you could butterfly it, create a tiny little pocket, and with the squash and red bell peppers, dice them up with a little salt and pepper, and combine a good cheese like a gruyere with the veggies and stuff everything inside the chicken!. Secure with a toothpick!. Make sure to seasons the outside of the chicken, then bake in the oven till done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That all sounds really good!. The simplest thing you could do with those ingredients is to just season & grill the chicken, halve the bell pepper, remove the seeds, give it a touch of olive oil and grill it too!. The asparagus you could either grill or steam, then serve it topped with the Hollandaise sauce!. (actually, it would look really pretty if you cut the grilled bell pepper into strips and mixed them with the asparagus before topping with the sauce} For the squash, (assuming you don't mean summer squash} I would cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, then steam it cut side down in the microwave!. Once it's cooked through, flip it cut side up, dot it with some butter, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon (a bit of nutmeg too if you like} then finish it off on the BBQ with the rest, or under the broiler, just for long enough to melt the butter and caramelize the sugar!. Oh, just had another idea - if your chicken is breasts, you could pound them out flat, then wrap them around the asparagus and bell peppers cut into strips!. (if your asparagus is very thick you might want to partially pre-cook it in boiling water first} tie them up with kitchen string or use toothpicks to hold them closed, then cook them either on the BBQ or in the oven!. Serve them topped with your Hollandaise sauce alongside the squash!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would sautee the chicken with the squash (add squash at the end so not to over cook) and add the bell pepper with the squash, both chopped, with onions, salt, pepper, garlic, and seasoning salt (or other seasonings or fresh herbs like cilantro or basil would be nice!)!. Cook asparagus in sautee pan with olive oil and pour hollandaise over the middle of it as you begin to serve it!. A baked potato with chives and bacon can round out the meal! Enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com
