Chicken fricassee with gratinated asparagus




Yesterday evening I wanted a cosy and romantic week dinner. It couldn't take too long to cook but it should be tasty and very comfortable. It's one of the best things about being a couple with no children, yet: enjoying those little moments that normally we don't care much about and make it the best moment of our lives. And food really helps.

Ingredients:

1 pack of chicken fricassee
Big and chunky white asparagus (as many as you want)
Goat and/or emmental cheese

Recipe:

Season the chicken pieces with salt, lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest, paprika and pepper. Add enough cooking white wine and place it in the hoven at 180ºC for about 30 minutes.
Place the asparagus in a glass pyrex and cover it with cheese. Let it gratinate for about 10 minutes also at 180ºC.
It's a very simple yet tasty dish that can be served with a glass of wine.
