Chicken Asparagus Caesar (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 -
A teaspoon of garlic powder
02 -
About half a cup Parmesan, shredded
03 -
Lemon rounds for that final pop
04 -
Salt to taste
05 -
However much black pepper you like
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
07 -
Four chicken breasts, boneless with no skin
08 -
1 cup Caesar dressing, store-bought or homemade—whatever works
09 -
Trimmed asparagus spears, about 1 pound
# How to Make It:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dry off the chicken then hit both sides with a good shake of salt and black pepper.
02 -
Pour the olive oil into a big skillet on medium-high. Add the chicken and let it brown for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Don't skip the crust.
03 -
Take the skillet off the heat. Smother the browned chicken with plenty of Caesar dressing so every piece gets saucy.
04 -
Scatter the asparagus around your chicken, dust everything with Parmesan, and sprinkle the garlic powder over the veggies. Flavor boost complete.
05 -
Pop the skillet in the oven and bake 20 minutes. Once the chicken hits 165°F inside and the asparagus softens up, you're all set.
06 -
Pull your hot skillet out and throw on those lemon slices. Slice and serve right away. If you want even more zing, squeeze a wedge over the top.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Wrap your asparagus with bacon for smoky crunch.
02 -
Use homemade or low-fat Caesar if you're checking nutrition.
03 -
Not a fan of asparagus? Broccoli or green beans work too.
04 -
Like crunch? Drop some croutons in just before it's finished baking.
05 -
Chop up some cherry tomatoes and toss them in for more color and a bit of sweetness.
