Cheesy Asparagus Chicken image

Came up with this one night a few years ago when I was trying to come up with something new for dinner. My husband discovered that asparagus wasn't so bad with this meal.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
6 slices Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Place chicken breasts on the baking sheet and sprinkle with 3/4 of the ranch dressing packet.
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until lightly browned and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove from oven and spoon Cheddar cheese soup over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with remaining ranch dressing mix.
  • Place asparagus spears on the chicken breasts. Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.
  • Return chicken to oven and bake until the asparagus is slightly tender and the cheese is hot, about 15 more minutes.
