Chicken-Asparagus Casserole


1 large bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3 inch lengths


5 red potatoes, cooked, peeled, and sliced 1/4" thick


1 onion, thinly sliced


1 Tbsp. olive oil


1 tsp. dried oregano


1 large carrot, very thinly sliced


1 large celery stalk, thinly sliced


1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced into 1/2" wide strips


3/4 cup chicken broth


1/2 tsp. salt


1/2 tsp. pepper


1/2 cup Parmesan cheese


Steam the asparagus over 1 inch boiling water, just until bright green and still quite crisp, about 3 minutes.   Drain in a colander under cold running water to stop cooking, and set aside.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F).  Spray a 9X13 casserole dish with nonstick spray.   Combine the potatoes, onion, oil and oregano in a large bowl; then spread in the casserole dish.  Top evenly with the carrot and celery, then with the chicken.   Add the broth and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Cover wtih foil and bake until bubbling, 35-45 minutes.   Remove the foil and top evenly with the asparagus pieces.  Sprinkle all over with the cheese and return to the oven.   Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.   Makes 6 servings, 1 cup per serving.    5 points per serving.

That sounds soooooo good. My bro would never eat it :sad: (Corn and potatoes are the only veggies he likes :dizzy:)

Maybe I could fix some for me and Mom, and Dad and the bro could eat something else :smile:

I tried the original recipe last night.  Not as stellar as the veggie chili recipe posted in this same forum, but still tasty and very healthy.
I didn't realize that the juices from the cooked chicken and veggies plus the broth would not evaporate at all.  I guess that's on purpose since it's covered for most of the time.  The juices were thin but very flavorful.  I just added some crusty whole wheat bread to the meal to mop it all up!  My hubby approved.
