One-Skillet Lemon Chicken with Asparagus
 
Save Print
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, tough bottoms cut or broken off, and cut into 4ths
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Using a sharp knife, cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 2 thinner pieces (about ½ inch thick) rather than one thick piece. If they are still pretty thick, you can place then between two pieces of wax paper and pound them a little. Season both sides well with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. When the chicken is cooked through, transfer to a plate.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Pour mixture into skillet and add asparagus. Saute asparagus until tender, bright green and crisp, about 5 minutes.
  5. Return chicken back to the pan for a couple minutes and serve.
