📝 Ingredients
For the Chicken & Marinade:

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
For the Asparagus:
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Optional: Crushed croutons or breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping
🍳 Kitchen Tools Needed

- Knife and cutting board
- Foil (optional, for easy cleanup)
- Oven and stovetop
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will give you a perfect balance between roasting and melting the cheese.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally if they are too thick, to ensure even cooking.
- Rub with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
- Add 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing and let it marinate for 15–30 minutes while you prep the asparagus. This infuses flavor and keeps the meat juicy.
Step 3: Prep the Asparagus
- Rinse and trim woody ends of asparagus.
- Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Lay them on one side of your skillet or baking dish.
