    There are two words to describe this meal of chicken and vegetables simmered in an herb-rich Italian dressing: simply classic.

    Chicken And Vegetables With Italian Dressing freshly cooked

    Of course, it may also be called scrumptiously mouthwatering or invitingly savory, but we know you get the point. It's good. And we are sticking to that.

    Who can resist thinly sliced chicken breasts, simmered together with fresh, young asparagus and grape tomatoes, coated in a delicious dressing with all your favorite spices?

    We can't, and that is why we recommend this dish for both lunch and dinner, not necessarily on the same day, but we are not here to judge!

    At this very moment, we are thinking of an appetizer to go along with the meal. To keep in line with the theme of asparagus, let us suggest a bowl of creamy asparagus soup with roasted garlic Caesar salad for starters.

    It takes some preparation, yet it is entirely worth it, for the rewards come in the form of amazing flavors - plus, you can store the soup in the fridge overnight and reheat it again tomorrow. Batch cooking is great for when you stock up on basic ingredients that can be used in multiple ways.

    Given that this meal takes just 40 minutes to prepare and cook, you are looking at some free time on your hands. Sit down and read a Paleo cookbook to be inspired by even more recipes, sip a glass of lemonade, or relish the moment and just be.
