This is a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks, Paula Deen's "The Lady & Sons, Too!" This casserole has been lightened up by using fat free products and healthy oil. It's still delicious and one of our favorites. Hope you try it! Colette
Saucy Chicken & Asparagus Bake POINTSŪ value | 7 or Core +1/5 pts Servings | 4
When using Fat Free cheese it's helpful to spray it with a bit of fat free spray parkay or more Pam. It will help it to melt better and not become hard.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pound asparagus 2 Tbsp canola oil 2 breast uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast 1/2 tsp table salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 10 1/4 oz Campbell's (U.S.) 98% Fat-Free Cream Of Chicken Soup 1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise 1 tsp fresh lemon juice 1 TBSP chopped pimento 2 chopped green onions 1 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese Instructions
If the asparagus spears are thick or seem tought, cook them in boiling water for 2 minutes; drain. Place the asparagus in a 9x9" baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam. Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the chicken and brown on both sides; season with salt and pepper. Arange the chicken over the asparagus. In a bowl, mix the soup, mayonnaise and lemon juice, chopped pimento and green onions; pour this over the chicken. Cover and bake at 375*F for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the juices run clear. Sprinkle the dish with the cheese and let stand for 5 minutes so the cheese melts.
