Lemony Chicken with Asparagus

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!
