Chicken Paillard. 1 1 Scaled 880x625 Acf Cropped

Functional Foods Highlight

Asparagus: Asparagus is high in fiber and is packed with vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as iron and folate.

Folate is an important nutrient that helps form red blood cells and produce DNA; it is an essential nutrient for early pregnancy that helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects.

Paillard, which is basically just a fancy French word for flattened meat, is one of my favorite ways to each chicken; and it is by far the most delicious way to eat skinless boneless chicken breasts. This dish is the perfect quick fix when you want a light and delicious lunch! Juicy grilled chicken topped with a salad made of lemony raw mushrooms and asparagus make for the perfect bite!

4 white button mushrooms (whole)
1/2 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

good parmesan cheese
