Ingredients

  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 10 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons crushed butter-flavored crackers
  • HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
