Caesar Chicken with Asparagus

by

Instructions

Step 01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 02

Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Step 03

Remove the skillet from heat. Pour Caesar dressing evenly over the seared chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Step 04

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken. Arrange asparagus spears around the chicken in the skillet. Season asparagus with garlic powder.

Step 05

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken registers 165°F (74°C) internal temperature and the asparagus is tender.

Step 06

Remove from the oven and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately, drizzling with fresh lemon juice for added brightness.

Notes

  1. Bacon-wrapped asparagus may be substituted for additional flavor and texture.
  2. A lighter or homemade Caesar dressing allows greater control of nutritional content.
  3. Swap out asparagus for green beans or broccoli if preferred.
  4. For extra crunch, toss in croutons during the last few minutes of baking.
  5. Halved cherry tomatoes can be added for sweetness and color.
