Cheesy Asparagus Chicken

Came up with this one night a few years ago when I was trying to come up with something new for dinner. My husband discovered that asparagus wasn't so bad with this meal.

Ingredients

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts on the baking sheet and sprinkle with 3/4 of the ranch dressing packet.

Step 3

Bake chicken in the preheated oven until lightly browned and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove from oven and spoon Cheddar cheese soup over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with remaining ranch dressing mix.

Step 5

Place asparagus spears on the chicken breasts. Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese.

Step 6

Return chicken to oven and bake until the asparagus is slightly tender and the cheese is hot, about 15 more minutes.
