Pesto Chicken and Asparagus

At first, I was a bit apprehensive about this dish, but it was so good, I made it again this week! Plus, this is another easy and fast meal.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (thawed, boneless, skinless)

2 tbsp. Pesto

1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese

Asparagus (I make 4-6 stalks per person)

1 tbsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Pepper

1 tsp. Garlic powder

1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

1. We're going to start by getting the asparagus ready. Wash and trim the asparagus. Get a baking pan ready by layering it with tin foil. 

2. Lay asparagus on tin foil. Drizzle with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Place in oven and let bake for 15 minutes. When done, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

While that bakes, we're going to work on the chicken.

4. Bring non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.

5. Place cooked chicken on plate. Spread pesto onto chicken. Then, cut the chicken into slices and drizzle with cheese.
