Make a Meal for Your Man. Or Lady.



Made this tasty, really simple chicken dish for the huz today. I kinda adapted it from allrecipes to fit what we had lying around. Instead of using chicken breasts I used chicken tenders from Costco. Also, I used rosemary instead of tarragon. Gotta love chicken for that carb friendly aspect. This chicken with a third cup brown rice? You're looking at a Diabetic friendly AND yummy meal my friends.



I always try to get in at least three servings of vegetables a day. The asparagus was absolutely beautiful! I knew I needed to make a dish where it was showcased.


The recipe calls for mayonnaise, but if you are looking for a healthier option, you could substitute light or fat free sour cream. Ditto with the cheese.



















I made this whole dish in like, 20 minutes. All while baby poodle was dreaming away : )



Here is the recipe:

6-8 Chicken tenders
1/4 cup mayo (or light sour cream)
dash of salt
dash of pepper
dash of rosemary
squeeze of Dijon mustard (like 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup cheese of your liking
12 spears of asparagus
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs

Method:
~Preheat oven to 350 degrees
~Pound the chicken tenders till they are 1/4 of an inch thick
~Place the asparagus in the microwave for a minute and a half- till bright green and tender crisp and then set aside
~Mix mayo, rosemary, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
~Spread mayo mixture over each chicken tender; top with cheese, then add asparagus in the center of the tender
~Roll the chicken tenders up and place on a greased baking dish
~If you have any cheese or mayo mixture left over, pour over the chicken tenders
~Top the chicken tenders with the bread crumbs
~Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink

It's really tasty! Let me know if you enjoy it too. And remember, if I can do it, so can YOU!
