Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the chicken breasts on top.
  2. Rub the chicken breasts with half of the minced garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden on top.
  3. While the chicken bakes, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss them with the remaining garlic, a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred, filling the kitchen with a roasted aroma.
  5. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer it onto a cutting board to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thick strips.
  6. In a large bowl, toss the warm asparagus with the Caesar dressing and grated Parmesan until well coated and glossy.
  7. Arrange the sliced chicken on a serving plate and top with the dressed asparagus. Sprinkle additional Parmesan on top for extra flavor.
  8. Serve immediately, allowing the warm chicken and crispy asparagus to be enjoyed with the tangy, cheesy dressing.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality Caesar dressing and freshly grated Parmesan. Feel free to add croutons for extra crunch.
