Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 2 cans of asparagus, or 500 g fresh
  • 200 g herb cream cheese
  • 400 g chicken breast
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • some oregano
  • salt and pepper
  • Sugar
  • 1 lemon slice(s)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

If you’re using fresh asparagus, wash and peel it thoroughly. Next, trim off the woody ends. Place the asparagus in a pot, cover with water, add a lemon wedge, salt, and a pinch of sugar, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Cut the chicken breast into strips or small cubes and then sauté it in a non-stick pan for a few minutes. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Mix the egg yolks with the oregano, salt, pepper, and cream cheese. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Now spread the asparagus out in a baking dish, add the meat, and pour the cream cheese mixture over everything. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve with rice or potatoes as a side dish.
