Easy Asparagus Chicken ~ A family HIT!

Last night my husband decided to try a new recipe and it was a HUGE hit in our house!!

1 1/4 lb. chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tbs. vegetable oil
2 (10 oz) pkg. frozen asparagus spears (we used 2 lbs. of fresh instead)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook chicken in heated oil over medium heat. Remove and set aside.

Brush 12X8-inch baking dish with reserved juices from chicken. Arrange asparagus spears on top. Top with chicken strips.

Add soup, mayo, lemon juice and curry powder to remaining juices in pan; stir over low heat for 1 minute or until well blended. Pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
