In the meantime...

Looks like we really dropped the ball with the Chicken a la King. In the meantime, here's an easy dish I made not too long ago. It's basically asparagus sauteed in a light oil and butter sauce with lightly breaded chicken and white rice.

Asparagus
Just slice off the rough stem (about 1/2 to 2/3) and wash in a strainer. I used mostly oil, a pinch of salt, and a sliver of unsalted butter and sauteed the asparagus about 5-10min or until it was cooked, but still crunchy. The key to crunchy, but not raw, asparagus is to continue to stir the whole time and to taste a little piece every few minutes :P

Chicken
For the chicken, I cut it into cubes so that it would cook fast - I was really hungry! The breading consisted of about 1:1 plain breadcrumbs to flour and was seasoned with salt, pepper, and parsley. Each cube was tossed around in the breading for full coverage before laying on a baking rack and baking at 400 degrees for 5-10min. You'll have to estimate based on how big the chicken pieces are. I don't usually keep track of the time, so I had to cut into one of the pieces to make sure it was cooked. Yes, this causes the chicken juices to run out, so it's better if you can practice enough be confident in the baking time. To give the breaded chicken some added flavor, I generously squeezed fresh lemon juice on top.

Rice
Lastly, I was lazy and just used minute rice, but any type of rice will do. Rice pilaf would have been a nice addition, though the store bought mixes have too strong of a flavor sometimes. In this case, I didn't want the rice to overpower the flavor of the meat and vegetable components.

Viola - here is my final dish:



(Don't worry - this is just a small portion of what I made. You should have enough for 2 people if you use a large chicken breast, 1-1.5 cups of rice, and a bunch of asparagus)
