Really loved this recipe! It has some of my favorite ingredients! The asparagus is very over powering though, so if you're not a big asparagus fan you need to steer clear of this dish!

This is a great recipe I love asparagus but never cooked them as a meal. I always used them as a salad. Instead of frozen asparagus I used fresh and I cut the receipe in half because there are only 2 of us. I also left out the mushrooms and added more chicken, we don't like mushrooms... Next time I make this I'm going to substitute corn for the mushrooms mainly for the color.... Enjoy We did.
