Asparagus and Lemon Chicken....???? - Main Dishes

Ellie · 09-25-2009, 05:10 AM

Any good ways to make it? I want the straight off the tv hot buttery drool worthy asparagus to impress my MIL

Tips?

And with the chicken, i'm doing it in a lemon marinade...but i'm freaking out that it's gonna come out too lemony, and i don't have much room for mistake (this is the first meal i'm cooking for my MIL and i'd llike to prove i'm doing a good job with her son) so any tips on that too would be great!

We use fresh asparagus, sautee it with extra virgin olive oil, some chopped garlic, and cashews. Its delicious!

The best advice for asparagus I can give you is to toss it in olive oil and garic salt and bake in the oven. It removes that bitter taste that asparagus can get and it tastes DELICIOUS!

we always steamed ours in a steamer or one of those little metal steamers you put inside a pot? we put butter on top of it while it was in the steamer and garlic salt. yummy

ETA: we use fresh asparagus.

Not trying to insult your intelligence but I didn't know this either for a while: make sure you break of the thicker ends of the asparagus!

I don't have any advice about chicken- I normally overcook it

When I first started cooking at home I did that. My dad bit into it and pink juice poured out.

It was AWFUL.

I'm sure you'll do great! If it makes you feel better do a trial run of the whole meal a few days beforehand so you get it just right
