Ingredients

• ▢ 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• ▢ ½ onion, chopped
• ▢ 1 bunch asparagus, chopped
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ▢ 2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

• ▢ 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
• ▢ 4 zucchini, cut lengthwise
• ▢ ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

• Baking Dish (9 x 13)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Coat a 13 × 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat your olive oil. Combine onion, asparagus, salt, and pepper. Cook over med-high heat until your asparagus is softer and your onion is cooked through.
4. While that is cooking, mix together cooked chicken, cream cheese, and bacon. Add your onion and asparagus once they are cooked.
