Pesto Chicken & Asparagus Recipe

Recipe By Taste Of Home

With only five ingredients I can put a beautiful meal on the table for family or guests in very little time. I use store-bought pesto, which makes preparation quick and easy. This is a one-skillet dish, and it's also the only way I can get my 3-year-old son to eat asparagus. Brooke Icenhour, Easley, South Carolina.
