Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have a vibrant green color and snap when you bend it. If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese would both be good choices.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole should be cooked until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking the casserole will make the chicken dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. The casserole is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftover casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This cheesy chicken asparagus casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and fresh asparagus, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
