Asparagus
Garlic aioli

What You'll Need
Vegetable or olive oil
Butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Eggs
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line 2 sheet pans with foil or parchment paper and coat with vegetable oil.
Step 2
Slice the chicken into strips about ½ inch thick. In a bowl, stir together the panko and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and season with salt. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, season with salt, and beat with a fork. Dredge each chicken strip in the eggs, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Coat with the panko mixture, pressing to help the crumbs stick. Lay the chicken strips on one of the pans.
Step 3
Bake until the chicken is crispy and golden on the bottom, 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to bake until golden on the second side, 10 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt and grind generously with pepper.
Step 4
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus, snapping off any woody ends. Pile the asparagus on the other pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until tender-crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
To make the lemon aioli, in a small bowl, stir together the aioli and the juice of 1 lemon.
Step 6
Arrange the chicken tenders and roasted asparagus on plates and serve warm, with the lemony aioli for dipping.
