Roast Chicken & Asparagus Salad

New house, new cookware...GOT to put it all to test!

My first "real" cooking session in my new house~ should sheepishly admit tho that the chicken was purchased pre-marinaded (I'm a working girl after all!)

So...is it really cheaper to cook at home? Let's put it to the test:

6 chicken thighs $7.50
1 bunch asparagus $1
1/2 bag of baby rocket $1
2 Roma tomatoes $1

Total: $10.50 (fed 2 with leftover chicken for next day consumption ;p)

As for the process...easy as!

1) Throw chicken in foil, all covered, and heat for 30mins at about 180 degrees.

2) After 30mins, take chicken out, unwrap the cover foil, throw in the tomatoes (and any other vegetable) and put back in for another 20mins to 30mins

3) While waiting, spread baby rocket on plate, chuck asparagus in water & boil for a couple minutes

4) Once asparagus is nice & soft & cooked, drain into a bowl and season with salt, pepper & some Parmesan cheese. 

5) Take the chicken out of oven, and plate everything decoratively (helps make the meal look yummier, seriously!).

And voila! Dinner is served!
