Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (3 to 4 lb total)
1/3 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in middle and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan. Roast on bottom rack, shaking pan once or twice, until just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning over once, until golden, about 6 minutes total. Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • While chicken roasts, purée tahini, water, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. (Add more water if sauce is too thick.)
  • Serve chicken and asparagus drizzled with some of sauce and with remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a small baking dish, cook the chicken and asparagus in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  • Season the chicken and asparagus well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to flavor the chicken and asparagus.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy, such as a creamy Alfredo sauce, a tangy tomato sauce, or a savory mushroom sauce.
  • Bake until the chicken is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This saucy chicken and asparagus bake is an easy and flavorful weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
