Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the skillet from heat and pour the Caesar dressing evenly over the seared chicken.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Arrange the asparagus around the chicken and season with garlic powder.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately, drizzling with fresh lemon juice.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Caesar dressing for a few hours before cooking. For a crispier texture, broil for a few minutes at the end of baking.
