Chicken Asparagus

I learnt this basic recipe from my Mum and have modified it through time. A very rich main dish to impress your friends! Chicken can be substituted for seafood (I use prawns and scallops) for a change.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 750  g chicken breasts, diced
• 200  g bacon, diced
• 8  mushrooms, sliced
• 2  tablespoons  minced garlic
• 2  tablespoons margarine
• 1  medium onion, finely diced
• 375  g asparagus, cuts and tips
• 375  g  chicken soup
• 250  ml  of thickened  light cream
• 1 1⁄2 cups rice

Directions

1. Cook chicken breast, set aside.
2. Add margarine, garlic, onion, and bacon to a hot frypan. Fry until bacon is cooked.
3. Add mushrooms, fry for about 2 minutes until partially cooked.
4. Add tin of soup and cream, stir and reduce heat. Add cooked chicken and asparagus (hint: if someone doesn't like asparagus, try mashing it up -- they won't even know it's there :) ). Simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Serve with rice.
