Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Lemon wedges for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Coat & Top: Remove from heat and pour Caesar dressing over the chicken. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the asparagus: Arrange trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder and a little extra Parmesan if desired.
Bake for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor!
