🛒 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced in half lengthwise for even cooking)
1 bunch of fresh asparagus (trimmed)
1 cup Caesar salad dressing (use your favorite brand or homemade)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

🍽️ Equipment Needed

Large oven-safe skillet or baking dish
Knife and cutting board
Mixing bowl
Aluminum foil (optional, for covering)

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create 4 thin cutlets. This helps them cook evenly and quickly.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Optional: Sear chicken in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor and color (not necessary but recommended).

🧴 Step 2: Preheat and Assemble

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly oil your baking dish or skillet and place the chicken cutlets in a single layer.
Arrange asparagus spears around and in between the chicken. If spears are thick, consider halving them lengthwise.
