🍗🥬🧀 Caesar Chicken with Asparagus 🧀🥬🍗

🥗 Step 3: Add Caesar Dressing

Pour the Caesar dressing evenly over the chicken and asparagus.
Use a spoon or brush to coat everything thoroughly. The dressing will act as a creamy sauce while baking.

🧀 Step 4: Top with Cheese

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken.
Add Parmesan cheese on top for extra sharp, nutty flavor.
You can add more cheese if you prefer a crispier golden top.

🔥 Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place in the oven uncovered.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and cheese is bubbly and golden.
If you want a crispier cheese layer, broil for the last 2–3 minutes (watch closely!).

🌿 Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for color and freshness.
Serve hot — pair it with a side of cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

Low-carb option: Serve with roasted cauliflower, sautéed zucchini, or a crisp garden salad.
Hearty option: Pair with garlic mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or creamy risotto.
Elegant presentation: Slice chicken on a bias and plate atop a bed of asparagus with extra Caesar drizzle.

🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or in the microwave in 1-minute intervals.
Avoid freezing if possible — the creamy dressing may separate when thawed.

💡 Tips & Variations

Add crunch: Top with seasoned breadcrumbs or crushed croutons before baking.
Make it spicy: Mix some crushed red pepper or hot sauce into the Caesar dressing.
Use chicken thighs: Boneless thighs work beautifully if you prefer darker meat.
Homemade Caesar dressing: Combine mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, anchovy paste, garlic, Parmesan, and black pepper for a homemade twist.
