Asparagus and Bleu Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Asparagus and Bleu Cheese Stuffed Grilled Chicken Breast
Serves 4

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (approximately 6 ounces each)
1 cup asparagus, cut into 1 inch lengths
1 ounce bleu cheese
1 ounce cream cheese
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Spices and herbs of your choice (I used Penzey's Greek Seasoning)

1. Preheat your grill on high.
2. Carefully cut into the side of the chicken breast, making a pocket. Do not cut all the way through.
3. Combine the cheeses and herbs.
4. Spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture in each pocket. 
5. Fill the pockets with the asparagus.
6. Use a toothpick to keep the pocket closed.
7. Rub the chicken with the olive oil.
8. Clean the grill's grates with your grill brush. With additional cooking oil, a paper towel and long tongs, rub oil on the grates.
9. Lay the chicken on your prepared grill.
10. Let cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and grill another 4-5 minutes.
