CAIT’S CHEESY CHICKEN & ASPARAGUS BAKE, BY JELES

INGREDIENTS:

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cleaned, trimmed and cut into three lengthwise strips

2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

2 tsp Poultry Seasoning, I use (Pit Boss, Champion Chicken)

1 tsp Mrs. Dash, Herb (salt free)

salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste

1 lb. asparagus~ ends trimmed and cut in half

1/2 cup chicken stock

2 tbsp lemon juice

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1//2 cup mayo

2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese (divided)

1/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350*

Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray with olive oil

Trim fat from chicken breasts, then cut each in three pieces lengthwise

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick pan

When the oil is hot, add chicken, season with Chicken seasoning, Mrs Dash, salt, and pepper, and cook until the chicken is lightly browned on both sides

Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool; then cut into chunks

Transfer chicken to a large bowl

Measure out lemon juice, sour cream, mayo, and Mozzarella cheese, lemon juice (set aside)

Snap one piece of asparagus to see where the woody part ends; then cut asparagus into 2 inch pieces

After you've removed the chicken from the pan, add 1 tbsp. more olive oil, add the asparagus, and cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat

Put the asparagus into the bowl with the chicken

Add the chicken stock to the pan and cook over medium heat, scraping the bottom to get any browned bits of chicken

Let the stock cook down for a couple of minutes, then whisk the lemon juice into the stock, turn heat down to low, and add the cubes of cream cheese

Whisk as the cream cheese melts, and when it's mostly melted add the mayo and sour cream and whisk until the sauce is nice and smooth

Gently stir the asparagus and cubes of chicken to combine in the bowl, then mix in the sauce and 1 cup cheese and gently stir again

Put the chicken-asparagus-sauce mixture into a sprayed casserole dish and top with the parmesan cheese and the other cup of grated mozzarella cheese

Bake 30 ~ 35 minutes at 350*

Bake 500* for the last 5 minutes to brown on top

Serve hot
