Green Chilies Chicken over Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon roasted garlic and herb seasoning
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb fresh asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons + ¾ cup water, divided
- ¾ cup plain Greek (or regular) yogurt
- 1 (1.25-oz) packet broccoli cheese soup mix
- ¼ cup diced green chiles
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Coat both sides of chicken with seasoning. Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden. Trim asparagus, removing tough root end.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Arrange asparagus spears over chicken. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover; cook 4–5 minutes and until chicken is 165°F and asparagus is tender. Transfer asparagus to serving plates; top with chicken.
- Whisk together remaining ¾ cup water, yogurt, and dry soup mix in small saucepan; bring just to a boil on medium. Reduce heat to low and stir in green chiles; simmer 2–3 minutes or until thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
