What You Need!

2 lb. fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
1 Tbsp.  water
1/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup  (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
1/2 tsp. lemon zest

Make It!

PLACE asparagus in microwaveable casserole. Add water; cover with waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH 4 to 5 min. or until asparagus is crisp-tender.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion
Divide cooked asparagus spears into 6 bundles and tie each with a steamed green onion for a simple and elegant presentation.
Substitute
Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion 1/3 Less Fat than Cream Cheese.
Trimming Fresh Asparagus
Asparagus spears snap off naturally where they are tough. Simply bend the spear near the bottom end and it will break off at the right point. Or, remove an inch or so of the "woody" portion off the bottom of the stalks with a sharp knife.
