Meaty shiitakes, a good sear on the chicken, and a sprinkle of nutty parmesan cheese—not to mention the sweet, tender-crisp asparagus—make this low-fat dish a winner. Prep and Cook Time: about 30 minutes. Notes: If you prefer your asparagus more fully cooked, return it to the oven once you've lifted out the chicken and bake it 5 to 10 minutes more.
Wow! This is not only incredibly easy, but beyond delicious! I have 4 teenagers and all of them scoffed initially when I told them what was for dinner, "Mom's being creative again!" But after dinner, there was not a morsel left and then the ultimate compliment, "Mom, you can make that one again." My husband kept saying he felt like he was in a 5 star boutique restaurant. So I think you can say my family approved! I wish I could give this one 10 stars! On a more functional note, I did use the shiitake mushrooms and they were WONDERFUL! Also, for those on South Beach this recipe fits right in!
I really liked this recipe. My husband used regular button mushrooms, so I can't imagine the flavor with the shiitakes. It had a nice savory flavor, and an all together, nice rounded meal. We definitely would serve this for guests.
