BBQ Chicken Wrapped Asparagus
Hands down, this is one of my favorite meals. It's a super easy way to get your daily dose of veggies, and it's easily customizable so you can really make the meal your own. Go seasonal with your farmer's market faves or put a new spin on flavor by mixing in different spices.

2, 3 oz thinly cut chicken breasts
12 asparagus spears
2 tbsp BBQ sauce (low sodium, reduced fat)
Seasonings: cumin, paprika, garlic, pepper
1 cup diced bell peppers (optional for brown rice)
Suggested carbs: 1/2 cup brown rice
Fruit (optional): watermelon pieces
Instructions

Chop the ends off asparagus and wrap the chicken around 6 asparagus spears.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet with the open facing down.
