1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 cup Caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove from heat. Spoon Caesar dressing over the chicken.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Add trimmed asparagus around the chicken in the skillet.

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve hot.
💡 Tips & Variations:
Not a fan of asparagus? Substitute with broccoli, green beans, or even cherry tomatoes.
Want extra richness? Wrap the chicken in bacon before baking.
Craving crunch? Toss in croutons during the last few minutes for a Caesar salad twist.
Lighten it up with a low-fat Caesar dressing or a yogurt-based version.
