Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 cup Caesar dressing
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in the baking dish in a single layer.
3. Season the chicken with garlic powder and black pepper.
4. Arrange the trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the same dish.
5. Pour Caesar dressing evenly over the chicken breasts.
6. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and asparagus.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
8. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a golden, bubbly top.
9. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Description

This dish features juicy baked chicken infused with the creamy, tangy flavor of Caesar dressing,
balanced by the nutty saltiness of Parmesan cheese. The asparagus roasts alongside the chicken,
soaking up the savory juices while keeping its bright color and slight crispness. The result is
a well-rounded, low-carb meal that’s rich, satisfying, and beautifully simple.

Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Caesar dressing for 1–2 hours before baking.
• Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and taste.
• If the asparagus spears are thick, blanch them for 2–3 minutes before baking.
• Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for added brightness.
• Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Correction

• Avoid overbaking the chicken, as it can become dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
• Do not overcrowd the pan to allow the asparagus to roast properly instead of steam.
• If the Caesar dressing is very salty, reduce the amount of Parmesan to balance the flavors.

Enjoy

Serve your Caesar Chicken with Asparagus hot from the oven, garnished with extra Parmesan or
fresh parsley if desired. This creamy, savory dish pairs wonderfully with warm bread or a light
pasta side. Enjoy every bite of this easy, delicious comfort meal!
