Rosemary Chicken with Garlic Asparagus

Lately I've become a HUGE fan of cooking simple, fast and healthy meals. I've been succeeding quite well in making them delicious even if they are fast and simple. The best part is they aren't complicated and anyone could make these dishes. The previous Honey Dijon Salmon with Lemon Zested Quinoa was the dish that kicked off this idea for me. I couldn't wait to share that recipe. Again, I can't wait to share this recipe! This dish is even more simple than the Honey Dijon Salmon. Perfect for a hectic day when you've run out of energy to cook. Don't reach for those frozen meals or stop for fast food. Make this! 


Look at that asparagus. SO delicious!

The chicken is juicy and has a great balanced Rosemary flavor. The Asparagus was topped with a Spinach Cream Sauce.
