Method

Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Bake the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Side Dish Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the chicken is baking, rinse the asparagus and trim the ends. Place the asparagus in a baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the asparagus and bake in the oven for the last 10-15 minutes of the chicken’s cooking time, until tender.

Dessert Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Cake Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake according to package instructions (usually 30-35 minutes at 350°F or 175°C).

  3. 7

    Frost the Cake

    Once the cake is cool, spread the chocolate frosting evenly on top.
