| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1/2 cup |
| Asparagus spears, trimmed | 1 pound |

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your liking. - 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. - 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. - Add Parmesan Cheese
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken. - 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. - 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. - Serve
Serve the chicken and asparagus with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for zesty brightness.
