Baked chicken with asparagus bundles Ingredients:
16 ounce boneless skinless chicken breast halves |
1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed |
4 1/2 teaspoons olive or canola 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 chopped green onions |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken breasts slightly. Wrap each around five asparagus spears; secure with toothpicks. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the oil, lemon juice and seasonings; pour over bundles. Cover asparagus tips with foil.
2. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with the onions. Bake 12-15 minutes longer or until the chicken juices run clear and asparagus is crisp-tender. Remove bundles to a serving platter and keep warm.
3. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth; stir in pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove toothpicks from bundles; top with sauce.
