2 tsp honey
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 tsp worchestire sauce

4. Set up an assembly line of ham, cheese and 16 asparagus spears (cut in half) and mustard sauce.

5. Working with one chicken breast half at a time, spread on mustard sauce and then layer with ham, cheese and asparagus. Roll chicken and secure with toothpicks. Continue with the rest of the chicken. Season the rolled chicken with salt and pepper.
