Chicken Asparagus Pasta
We enjoy this dish often in the spring when asparagus is fresh on the market. It’s a favorite with family and friends and a welcome surprise to those who think they don’t like asparagus. —Taralynn Plastina, McHenry, Illinois

Delicious and easy. I modified it a bit to use leftover roast chicken and was very pleased with how tasty it is.
I thought this recipe was great! It has a bold lemon flavor and is a nice chance of pace from other chicken- asparagus-pasta recipes. I will definitely be making this again!
Delicious! It's quite a bit more lemony than I expected, but the whole family loved this. I added just a half tablespoon of butter to it as I felt it needed just a bit more.This recipe is definitely going in my rotation.
Tasty, but a bit dry...Reccomend adding a bit of half and half...
This was a great recipe. Very good and easy with very little ingredients. A great combination of ingredients. I have made this dish several times and love it every time I make it.

Yum!! This was a fast and easy recipe that the entire family loved. Will definitely make again.
This is actually my submitted recipe, but they downsized it for 2 servings. When I make, I use a pound of gemelli pasta, a pound of chicken, the zest and juice of a whole lemon, 2 if "dry", a "bundle" of asparagus, most of a stick of butter and 1/4 cup olive oil (as combining the oil and butter keeps butter from burning), lots of garlic and at least a cup of the fresh shaved parmesan. It really is amazing, especially now with the fresh asparagus, which I roast at 450, not 400 until just done.
I was skeptical because there was only one review, but I had chicken and asparagus that needed to be cooked and WHOA! It was amazing. Such a simple easy recipe to make, prep time and cooking is 30 mins all together. I personally would have liked to be more saucey. So I headed another tsp of butter (substitute margarine for a lighter healthy version).
This was a wonderful pasta! I substituted linguine and added red pepper flakes. I also used a little low sodium chicken broth instead of butter and it came out delicious!!
