I saw this delicious recipe on Pinterest for chicken and asparagus kebabs and I thought, Yummy… but I definitely don’t have time to skewer and kabob these puppies..so took a short cute and just tossed everything together, baked it and served it over salad. Easy, delicious and healthy, my favorite combo!
I hope you like it!
Cut the tough ends off your asparagus
Then cut your endless asparagus into 1 to 1/2 inch pieces.
Cut about 1 lb of chicken breast into 1ish inch cubes
Place your cut asparagus, cubed chicken, diced onions, and minced garlic into a 9×13 baking dish. Drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Season with juice of 1 lemon, coarse sea salt, fresh ground pepper and parmesan cheese.
Toss thoroughly so it is fully coated.
Cook in a 375 degree oven for about 20ish minutes. Until asparagus is tender and chicken is cooked through.
Toss halfway to ensure everything is cooking evenly.
I served over a simple bed of lettuce, but can also be eaten in a pita or served over pasta…the options are endless!
Enjoy!
