Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing for coating and flavor
  • 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs toasted lightly

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then brush them generously with half of the Caesar dressing, coating all sides evenly.
  2. Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, then place the chicken breasts on the grill, cooking for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Baste occasionally with remaining dressing for extra flavor.
  3. While the chicken is grilling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast the asparagus in the oven, tossing halfway through, for about 12-15 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Meanwhile, sprinkle the toasted bread crumbs over the cooked chicken, pressing lightly to adhere and creating a crispy topping.
  6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or serve whole, with the roasted asparagus on the side.
  7. Finish the dish with a drizzle of extra Caesar dressing if desired, and serve hot for a flavorful, textural contrast between tender chicken and crispy asparagus.
