Chicken Broccoli and Asparagus Casserole

This wonderful dish is actually 3 recipes in one, they can can be served separately or mixed together in a sort of casserole!  Either way it's AMAZING!!

Chicken:
3-4 Boneless Skinless chicken Breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
juice from 1 lemon
salt/pepper to taste

Heat oil in skillet, season with salt and pepper.  Brown chicken on both sides until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove from heat, sprinkle lemon juice on top and cut into chunks (if serving as a casserole), set aside.

Broccoli:
2-3 heads of broccoli
juice from 1 lemon (you can use the pre-packaged juice, but fresh is better)
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp olive oil (divided)

PreHeat oven to 400
Cut broccoli into florets, place on well sprayed baking dish
Heat oil in skillet, add garlic and roast until light brown.
Sprinkle garlic and lemon juice over the broccoli and drizzle with remaining olive oil. 
Roast for 5-8 minutes.  Remove and set aside.

Asparagus:
2 bunches of Asparagus
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced
Salt and Pepper to taste

Heat oil in skillet, add asparagus and onion, turn frequently until the color begins to change and asparagus is tender. Remove from heat and add vinegar, salt and pepper and let stand for 2-3 minutes for the flavors to set in.

If serving as a casserole, add all ingredients together, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, top with buttered bread crumbs (optional).  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes to heat through.  Serve over brown rice.
