Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Soak skewers/toothpicks in warm water.
Combine diced asparagus and shredded cheese in a bowl.
With a small, sharp knife, make a small pocket in each chicken breast by slicing from the thinner side into the thicker side of the breast.
Fill breasts with the asparagus and cheese mixture. Insert a wooden skewer/toothpick to hold keep the pocket closed. Bread breasts first in the flour, then the egg wash and lastly the breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Brown chicken on each side until golden, about 2 minutes each side.
Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
