What do you do when you have a bunch of asparagus left over...search for something to do with it. I found this recipe and it looked easy and healthy with some minor changes!!

So my changes included using this rice which is super colorful and yummy. It comes in 4 packets so you can make as much as you want. I used two bags and there was plenty for the three of us!
So after cooking it and lining the bottom of the dish, I just followed the recipe by layering my seasoned asparagus. Sprayed some olive oil on them so the salt, pepper and tad bit of garlic powder would stick!
I seasoned my chicken and placed that on top. Now here's where I made a few changes. I used cream of mushroom/cream of chicken soup and instead of using 1/2 cup of water, I went ahead and added 3/4 or so. I don't like all the sodium in the soups so I do this regularly. If I end up with too runny of a consistency I will add greek yogurt to thicken it up again. I also add a cup or so of roughly chopped mushrooms to the soup for extra veggies and substance.
I poured the mixture over all of the chicken and added my cheese and viola....it's ready for the oven. When it comes to cheese, I don't go too far because each family member can add more as they want...this actually looks like more than what there really was on top. Haha!
Again, my boys like it...another one for the recipe book!!
