- Heavy cream
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Garlic
- Onion
- Salt
- Pepper
- Italian seasoning
- Paprika
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and cook the chicken until it’s browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until just tender. If using onions or garlic, add them now and cook until fragrant.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and your chosen spices. Mix well until everything is nicely blended.
- In a large casserole dish, layer the cooked chicken and sautéed asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, take the casserole out of the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
