    2 cups water
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    10 each asparagus spears -- thin ones; trimmed
    2 tablespoons flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper -- or to taste
    2 each boned and skinned chicken breasts -- see note below
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1/2 small red onion -- chopped
    1/2 medium tomato -- chopped
    3 ounces lump crabmeat -- more if desired
    For the Lemon-Chive Sauce:
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    5 tablespoons whipped cream cheese
    1 tablespoon milk
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

    Recipe



    Bring water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boil in medium saucepan; add asparagus and cook until tender about 3 minutes. Drain. Set aside.

    Lay chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Blend flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish; dredge chicken to coat, patting off any excess.

    Add vegetable oil to medium, non-stick fry pan over medium heat. Sauté chicken breasts on both sides until browned and firm, about 3 minutes per side or until thermometer inserted into the thickest part measures 160°F. Remove chicken; keep warm until ready to serve. Add onion to skillet and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Increase heat to high, add tomato and sauté until most of the moisture has evaporated. Decrease heat to low and add crab meat; toss gently, cooking just until hot.

    To serve, set one chicken breast on each plate; arrange 5 asparagus spears on top of each. Spoon some of crab mixture over asparagus and drizzle with Lemon Chive Sauce. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, if desired.


    Lemon Chive Sauce:
    In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter with lemon juice to make sauce. Whisk in cream cheese, milk and chives until smooth.
