a quick method for cooking chicken that appears to have taken a lot of effort. It can also be made in advance and chilled until baking. For optimum results, use a high-quality pesto. Although I prefer to serve it with spaghetti, it also tastes good sliced and placed over a green salad.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Spread out trimmed asparagus in 1 layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roll asparagus back and forth so it is evenly covered with olive oil
- Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is lightly browned and easily pierced with a knife, 20 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Flip asparagus after 15 minutes. Season with salt and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Bake until balsamic vinegar starts to caramelize, about 1 minute more.
