Yellow, white or sweet onions will all work well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asparagus:<\/strong> Fresh asparagus is the star of this dish and is best when in season. Trim any woody ends before chopping into bite-sized pieces. Thicker asparagus spears may need to be cut into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chicken stock:<\/strong> The stock forms the base of the sauce and adds plenty of savoury flavour. A good quality stock will give the best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon zest:<\/strong> Lemon adds freshness and brightness to the dish and pairs perfectly with both the chicken and asparagus. Fresh lemon is highly recommended for the best flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Used to lightly thicken the sauce so it coats the chicken and vegetables beautifully. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> Paprika, oregano, thyme and garlic powder add layers of flavour without overpowering the asparagus. The combination works perfectly with the lemon and chicken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and black pepper:<\/strong> Used to season the chicken and can be adjusted at the end if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive oil spray:<\/strong> Used for coating the chicken and vegetables with minimal oil while still helping to develop plenty of flavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3.jpg\" alt=\"close up of seasoned chicken, asparagus with sauce on a sheet pan\" class=\"wp-image-47744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-560x840.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/chicken-asparagus-bake-3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Chicken and Asparagus Bake is easy to adapt with different vegetables and seasonings depending on what you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use chicken breast instead:<\/strong> Chicken thighs add the best flavour and stay wonderfully tender during cooking, but chicken breast can be used if preferred. Just keep in mind that it cooks more quickly and may need a slightly shorter cooking time to prevent it drying out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Swap the asparagus:<\/strong> If asparagus isn't in season, tenderstem broccoli, green beans, sugar snap peas or Brussels sprouts all work well in this recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add extra vegetables:<\/strong> Cubes of butternut squash, courgette, mushrooms, peas or spinach are great additions and work beautifully with the lemony sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add some heat:<\/strong> A pinch of chilli flakes can be added alongside the seasonings if you like a little kick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try different herbs:<\/strong> Fresh parsley, basil or dill all pair well with the chicken, lemon and asparagus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it extra lemony:<\/strong> Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for even more bright citrus flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add beans:<\/strong> Cannellini beans or butter beans can be added to make the dish even more filling while keeping it light and wholesome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add cheese:<\/strong> While the recipe is naturally dairy free, a sprinkling of grated parmesan, some strong cheddar, or crumbled feta before serving works beautifully if dairy isn't a concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Chicken and Asparagus Bake is packed with protein and vegetables, making it a delicious meal on its own. If you'd like to add a side, there are plenty of options that pair perfectly with the light lemony sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crispy roast potatoes or this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/garlic-and-herb-roast-potatoes\" type=\"post\" id=\"6286\"><strong>garlic and herb roast potatoes<\/strong><\/a> are one of my favourite accompaniments, as they're perfect for soaking up all the delicious sauce. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/mashed-potatoes\" type=\"post\" id=\"13349\"><strong>Mashed potatoes<\/strong><\/a>, baby potatoes or homemade potato wedges also work well, as does a side of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/herby-garlic-seasoned-rice\" type=\"post\" id=\"43234\"><strong>seasoned garlic herby rice<\/strong><\/a> if you're looking for something simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For extra vegetables, serve with tenderstem broccoli, green beans, peas, Brussels sprouts or a medley of roasted vegetables. If you'd prefer something lighter, a simple mixed salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and red onion makes a fresh accompaniment and complements the flavours of the dish beautifully.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
