How to Make Asparagus Chicken With Hollandaise Sauce

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a nonporous glass dish, combine chicken breasts with 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  2. Preheat your oven's broiler.
  3. Prepare the asparagus: Steam or blanch 1 pound of asparagus until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Broil the chicken: Remove chicken from marinade, discarding the marinade. Place chicken breasts on a broiler pan and broil for 12-15 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Make the hollandaise sauce: While the chicken broils, prepare your hollandaise sauce according to your preferred recipe or package directions. (Note: a classic hollandaise recipe is easily found online)
  6. Assemble and serve: Arrange the cooked chicken breasts on a platter. Top each breast with 4 spears of steamed asparagus. Drizzle generously with the hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
