Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken-breast halves, split and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, trimmed, thinly sliced, and well rinsed (4 cups)
1/3 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large, straight-sided ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet, skin-side down; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.

Creamy Lemon, Asparagus, Chicken Pasta Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by SMorrissey

Number Of Ingredients 12

GARNISHES:
1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, grilled and cut into strips
1 pound asparagus, ends removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 ounces linguine pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine will also work)
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely shredded
Lemon slices, optional
1/4 cup chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Set your grill to high heat. Lightly season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken breasts until done. To check for doneness, the safest and surest method is to use a digital meat thermometer. Insert the tip into the thickest part of the breast and when the internal temperature reaches 165°F, remove it from the grill. and slice into strips, set aside. Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Add the asparagus to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking liquid. In a small pot, combine the heavy cream, butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and remove from the heat. Place the pasta and asparagus back into the pot you cooked them in along with the grilled chicken breasts cut into strips. Pour the cream sauce over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly, adding pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Stir the parmesan cheese into the pasta. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, prepped, and within reach. Mise en place (French for "put in place") helps streamline the cooking process.
  • Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch or flour slurry (equal parts cornstarch/flour and water) to the simmering sauce. Stir until desired consistency is achieved.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste your dish and adjust seasonings to your preference. Add salt and pepper gradually until the flavors are balanced.
  • Use Fresh Asparagus: Fresh asparagus is best for this dish, as it is more flavorful and tender. If using frozen asparagus, thaw and drain it thoroughly before cooking.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Be vigilant during cooking to prevent overcooking the chicken or asparagus. Overcooked chicken can become dry, and asparagus can lose its vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Serve Immediately: For the best culinary experience, serve creamy asparagus chicken hot off the stovetop. This allows you to relish the vibrant flavors and textures while the dish is at its peak.

Conclusion:

Creamy asparagus chicken is a delightful and effortless dish that combines the flavors of tender chicken, crisp-tender asparagus, and a creamy, flavorful sauce. With its vibrant colors and textures, this dish is sure to impress family and friends. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting out, this recipe provides a straightforward guide to indulge in a delectable meal.
