Description
A delicious and simple dish that combines tender chicken, crisp asparagus, and rich Caesar dressing, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb asparagus spears, trimmed
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup Caesar dressing
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Pour Caesar dressing evenly over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle each piece with Parmesan cheese.
- Nestle the trimmed asparagus spears around the chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle the asparagus generously with garlic powder and add additional Parmesan if you like.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18–22 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the asparagus is tender. Before serving, garnish with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a lighter version, use grilled chicken and swap Caesar dressing for Greek yogurt dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
