Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4
Salt and pepper To taste
Olive oil 1 tablespoon
Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade) 1 cup
Grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup
Asparagus spears, trimmed 1 pound
Garlic powder 1 teaspoon
Lemon wedges For garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your liking.
  2. Sear the Chicken
    Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  3. Add Caesar Dressing
    Once the chicken is browned, take the skillet off the heat and pour the Caesar dressing over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese
    Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken.
  5. Add Asparagus
    Arrange the trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle the asparagus with garlic powder and a little extra cheese if you like.
  6. Bake
    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.
  7. Serve
    Serve the chicken and asparagus with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for zesty brightness.
