Lemon chicken asparagus

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Salt; optional
½ teaspoon Pepper; fresh ground
½ teaspoon Grated lemon zest
¾ pounds Fresh asparagus; trimmed
1 tablespoon Olive oil
2 teaspoons Seasoned dry bread crumbs
4 Slices low-fat turkey ham
8 Lemon slices; for garnish

Directions

In med. bowl, combine chicken, lemon juice, ½ of the salt, pepper and lemon zest. Toss to mix. On a large flat plate, coat the chicken with the seasoned bread crumbs. Spray Pam on a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden brown outside and white throughout (but still juicy--about 5-7 minutes). Place chicken on a serving platter.

Meanwhile, steam the fresh asparagus for approx. 5-7 minutes. When done, season the asparagus with the remaining lemon zest and salt and pepper. Divide asparagus into 4 bundles. Wrap each asparagus bundle with a slice of the turkey "ham" and place on top of chicken. Garnish with lemon slices.
