Steps:
- Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (convection oven to 425°F). Brush a copper or ceramic gratin dish with a little of the melted butter.
- Trim the asparagus: you will find that white asparagus needs to be trimmed much higher-roughly halfway up the stalks, as a rule of thumb. Slice the spears in half lengthwise and lay them in the buttered gratin dish. Sprinkle with most of the lemon thyme leaves, saving a few for garnish.
- Now put the crème fraîche and mustard into a heavy pan and place over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat slightly and let bubble to reduce by about a quarter. Season the reduced mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, put the bread crumbs in a bowl, add the Parmesan, parsley, and some pepper, and toss with your fingers to combine.
- Pour the mustardy crème fraîche over the asparagus, then scatter the crumb mixture on top, distributing it evenly. Drizzle over the rest of the melted butter. Bake the gratin on the middle shelf of the oven until the top is crisp and golden and the cream bubbles up around the sides of the dish, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves and serve.

ASPARAGUS GRATIN
Categories Cheese Vegetable Broil Vegetarian Quick & Easy Parmesan Pine Nut Asparagus Boil Gourmet
Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Butter a 2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow ceramic flameproof baking dish.
- Cook asparagus in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then transfer to baking dish and keep warm, tightly covered with foil.
- Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until foam subsides, then cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add bread and pine nuts and cook, stirring, until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add pepper, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, tossing to combine.
- Preheat broiler.
- Toss warm asparagus with mascarpone, remaining 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well.
- Sprinkle bread-crumb mixture evenly over asparagus. Broil 5 to 7 inches from heat until topping is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Choose the Right Asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the Asparagus: Use a sharp knife to trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can also peel the asparagus if you want to remove the outer layer of the spears.
- Cook the Asparagus Properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are boiling, steaming, and roasting. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh asparagus, chicken, and vegetables.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the chicken and asparagus, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
- Season to Taste: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
