Crispy Chicken with Asparagus Sauce

Thursday nights I like to cook up something Italian. We call it Tuscan Thursday, although it’s not necessarily a Tuscan dish. While this chicken dish ain’t exactly Italian, it’s got enough going on to land it on my menu planner as a Thursday meal.  Besides, the grocery store had a great deal on Cream of Asparagus Soup, so I’ve got cans sitting in the pantry that need to be put to good use.

I’ve discovered something about cream of anything soups – they are interchangeable. In other words, if a recipe calls for Cream of Mushroom Soup, by switching it out for Asparagus, you’ve just created a whole new awesome easy dish. Case in point would be my Potato Pork Chops. Should have be one kind of soup, ended up with another but that’s okay because dinner was a whole new kind of delicious.

Personally, I love cooking with Cream of Asparagus Soup. If that’s not your thing, go with something else that you and your family enjoy. Cooking is all about pleasures.

Crispy Chicken with Asparagus Sauce
1 Egg
4 Chicken Breast, boneless
1/2 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Can Condensed Cream of Asparagus Soup
1/3 cup Milk
1/3 cup Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
4 Cups White Rice, for serving (see note)

Beat the egg in a shallow dish with a fork or whisk. Dip the chicken into the egg. Coat the chicken with the bread crumbs.

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 15 minutes or until well browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.

Stir the soup, milk and water in the skillet and heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Serve the chicken and sauce with the rice. Sprinkle with the cheese.

Note: Sprinkle rice with a little Italian Seasoning or fresh herbs to brighten up the plate and add a little more flavor.
