By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 10 spears of asparagus
• 3 cloves garlic, diced
• 3/4 lb chicken breast or thighs, cubed
• 2 cloves garlic, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 lb spaghetti, cooked
• 3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
• fresh basil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lay out the asparagus on a baking dish and sprinkle with the chopped garlic, ½ tbsp olive oil, and salt and pepper, tossing to combine. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove from oven, cut each spear into thirds, and set aside.
In a large sauce pan, heat one tbsp of olive oil. Pan fry the cubed chicken until almost done, then add in the remaining 1 tbsp of oil, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add in the roasted asparagus. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
Toss together the chicken mixture, cooked pasta, and parmesan cheese. Season with plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Top with chopped basil and serve hot!
