Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts with Barley Foam

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Notes
Roast the asparagus in a 400° oven for about 8 minutes, until browned and tender.
Suggested Pairing
Volnay, in Burgundy, produces Pinot Noirs that have a gracefully silky texture. They're usually delicate enough to work well with lighter meat dishes like Michel Bras's pan-seared chicken breasts. A good village (i.e., not premier cru) Volnay would also taste great with this dish.
