How to Make Almond Chicken With Asparagus

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Steam 1 pound of asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Add 1.5 pounds cooked chicken breast (cubed), the steamed asparagus, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1/2 cup slivered almonds to the bowl.
  5. Gently toss to coat everything evenly with the yogurt dressing.
  6. Serve the chicken and asparagus mixture over a bed of 5 ounces fresh spinach leaves. Garnish with extra almonds and cilantro, if desired.
