Friday Feast - Balsamic Chicken and Proscuitto-Wrapped Asparagus

Balsamic Chicken and Proscuitto-Wrapped Asparagus

By J. J. Gregor

Another paleo and gluten-free meal of Balsamic Chicken and Asparagus.  For a change, we wrapped the asparagus spears in prosciutto.  It added a great salty flavor to the dish.   This is super easy, and your family won't even know it's healthy. Ingredients: (serves 6)

• ½ cup balsamic vinegar
• 4 T extra virgin olive oil (divided)
• dash of salt and pepper
• 6-6oz boneless and skinless chicken breasts
• 2 bunches of asparagus, trimmed
• 2 T minced garlic
• 6 large slices of Proscuitto

Directions:

For the Chicken:  Combine the balsamic vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper in a small bowl.  Brush the mixture over the chicken.  Let this stand for 30 minutes.  When ready, grill the chicken over high heat, 6 minutes per side or until done.

For the Asparagus: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine asparagus, oil, and garlic in a large bowl.  Dividing the asparagus into 6 bunches, wrap each bunch with prosciutto.  Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy.
