Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon unsalted butter
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 onion, finely diced
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 1/2 inch pieces
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 ½ cups cream of chicken soup
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 ⅓ cups water
⅔ cup uncooked long grain white rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken breasts about 3 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the skillet, and set aside. Add the onion and asparagus to the skillet; cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender. Arrange the chicken breasts over the onions and asparagus, and season with tarragon. Pour soup over chicken.
  • Cover the skillet, and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover, sprinkle with almonds, and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine water and rice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve chicken and asparagus over rice.
