When the mushrooms start to change its color and its natural water is released from it, add 1/2 cup of cream to it and let it cook for about 2 mins.
Add pepper and also salt(if required).
Finally add the grated cheese and cook it until the cheese is completely melted.
Remove and keep aside to cool.

To roast the asparagus, pre heat the oven to 425F.
Cut the hard end of the asparagus and use a peeler to scrape of a bit of its skin.
Place these asparagus in a row on a baking tray and sprinkle some salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss them well. Make sure they r placed in a row.
Bake it for 12 mins.

Place the chicken on a serving plate and pour your mushroom sauce on top of it and place the asparagus on the side. Its now ready to be eaten.
