Keeping the heat on medium, add two Tablespoons olive oil to the skillet.

As the sauce is simmering, bring a medium saucepan filled halfway with water to a boil.
Add a little salt.
Toss the asparagus into the water and boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
Drop the asparagus in a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking.
Set the oven to broil.
Prepare the dish by arranging the cooked chicken fillets on a baking pan.
Cross two asparagus spears over each fillet, then cover each with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Broil the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes.
To serve, arrange two chicken breast on each plate, then spoon 3 or 4 tablespoons of Madeira sauce over the chicken on each plate.
