These look pretty on a plate and are easy to make. Use more or less asparagus to your taste. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
20 asparagus spears, trimmed (fresh) |
4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup green onion, chopped |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken breasts slightly; wrap each around five asparagus spears and secure with toothpicks.
2. Place in a 9x13-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
3. Combine the oil, lemon juice and seasonings; pour over bundles.
4. Cover asparagus tips with foil; cover pan and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Uncover; sprinkle with the onions.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until the chicken juices run clear and asparagus is crisp-tender; remove bundles to serving platter and keep warm.
7. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth; stir in pan juices.
8. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
9. Remove toothpicks from bundles; top with sauce.
