Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 cup Caesar dressing (creamy style works best)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan.
Season the chicken with garlic powder and black pepper, then place it in the prepared dish.
Add the asparagus around the chicken. Drizzle everything lightly with olive oil.
Pour the Caesar dressing evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 75°C / 165°F) and the asparagus is tender.
Optional finish: Broil for 2–3 minutes to get a golden, slightly crispy top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
