Asparagus and Grilled Chicken Recipe

Author: Nancy Jay	Cuisine: World	Recipe type: Main Course
Prep. Time: 15 mins	Cook Time: 35 mins	Total Time: 50 mins	Serves: 3

• Ingredients
• Asparagus - Half bunch
• Red bell pepper - 1 Small
• Onion - 1 small
• Garlic pods - 4 to 6 chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Water - 1/4 cup
• Olive Oil - 2 to 3 tsp.
• Soy Sauce - 1 to 2 tsp.


• For Chicken Marination
• Chicken Breast - 1 pound
• Pepper Powder - 1 tsp.
• Lemon Juice - from half lemon
• Salt - little

Direction:

Marinate chicken with the items under marination for 30 minutes and grill the chicken(I have used panini maker for grilling). First preheat the grill and when it is ready, spray some cooking oil and place the chicken



After some time turn the chicken and when it is completely cooked, take off from the grill.



While the chicken is in the grill wash the asparagus, trim the white stalk and chop it in medium pieces. You can also peel the skin of lower part of asparagus.



Heat oil in a pan and add oil, then add garlic and saute it for a minute and add red bell pepper. Saute it for a minute and then add chopped asparagus.



Saute the asparagus, add some water, salt and cook it covered. Meanwhile add oil in a pan and saute the chopped onion until it is golden brown. We add this onion in the end.



When the asparagus is fully cooked,(Since hubby doesn't like veggies crunchy, I cooked it mushy. If you like veggies crunchy cook the asparagus until it is partially soft and not mushy.) add the grilled chicken and the sauteed onions(did it in the above step.)



Now add the soy sauce, stir it well and switch off the heat.

Notes:
• Since it is fat free recipe, I have used olive oil, you can also use canola oil
