How to Make Saucy Chicken And Asparagus

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Asparagus: Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. If desired, blanch asparagus in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
  3. Arrange Asparagus: Place the blanched asparagus in a greased 9x9 inch baking dish.
  4. Brown Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total), seasoned with salt and pepper, for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Assemble Bake: Arrange the browned chicken breasts over the asparagus in the baking dish.
  6. Make Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon curry powder.
  7. Pour Sauce: Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and asparagus.
  8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Rest: Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
