Categories: Salad Vegetable Poultry
Yield: 4 Servings
| 4 | | Boneless chicken breasts |
| 1 | tb | Fresh lemon juice |
| 1 | ts | Salt; optional |
| 1/2 | ts | Pepper; fresh ground |
| 1/2 | ts | Grated lemon zest |
| 3/4 | lb | Fresh asparagus; trimmed |
| 1 | tb | Olive oil |
| 2 | ts | Seasoned dry bread crumbs |
| 4 | | Slices low-fat turkey ham |
| 8 | | Lemon slices; for garnish |
In med. bowl, combine chicken, lemon juice, 1/2 of the salt, pepper and
lemon zest. Toss to mix. On a large flat plate, coat the chicken with the
seasoned bread crumbs. Spray Pam on a non-stick skillet and heat over
medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden
brown outside and white throughout (but still juicy--about 5-7 minutes).
Place chicken on a serving platter. Meanwhile, steam the fresh asparagus
for approx. 5-7 minutes. When done, season the asparagus with the remaining
lemon zest and salt and pepper. Divide asparagus into 4 bundles. Wrap each
asparagus bundle with a slice of the turkey "ham" and place on top of
chicken. Garnish with lemon slices. Judy Garnett,pjxg05a Raleigh,NC Adapted
