Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil cooking spray
2 bunches asparagus (2 pounds)
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup slivered almonds
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound cut-up skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup rum
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup couscous, cooked according to package directions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  • Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Arrange asparagus on baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast 10 minutes. Top the asparagus with almonds and roast 5 more minutes, until fork-tender and almonds are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and sugar and cook 3 minutes, until soft stirring with wooden spoon. Add chicken and saute 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Add lime juice and carefully, off the heat, add the rum. Return to the heat and add lime zest, salt, pepper and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve chicken, garnished with mint, over couscous with the almond topped asparagus on the side.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved it in this dish. The almonds and the sauce really helped to balance out the flavor of the asparagus. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time I make it. The chicken was also a bit dry. I will probably not be making this dish again.
