Method
Place chicken, smooth side down, on work surface. Divide cheese evenly among thighs; lay a few strips of red pepper and a few pieces of asparagus on each thigh. Sprinkle basil over top; season with salt and pepper. Fold the sides of the thighs over the filling; tie each one with kitchen string in two or three places.Arrange the stuffed chicken thighs on an aluminum-foil lined rimmed baking sheet and roast in 450° (230°C) oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Let chicken stand for 10 minutes; discard string before serving.
