Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1-2 cups chopped asparagus
2 lemons, sliced
2 tablespoons honey + 2 tablespoons butter (optional, see FAQ notes)
parsley for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and pound until each pieces is about a 3/4 of an inch thick. (NOTE: If your chicken breasts are really thick,you can just cut them in half horizontally to make thinner pieces rather than pounding. Works like a charm.) Place the flour and salt and pepper in a shallow dish and gently toss each chicken breast in the dish to coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat; add the chicken and sauté for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown, sprinkling each side with the lemon pepper directly in the pan. When the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, transfer to a plate.
  • Add the chopped asparagus to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until bright green and tender crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside. Lay the lemon slices flat on the bottom of the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side without stirring so that they caramelize and pick up the browned bits left in the pan from the chicken and butter. (NOTE: adding a tiny pat of butter in with the lemons also helps prevent sticking and promotes browning.) Remove the lemons from the pan and set aside.
  • Layer all the ingredients back into the skillet - asparagus, chicken, and lemon slices on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus stalks that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid stalks that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are steaming, roasting, and grilling. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it will become mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill and parsley, can add a lot of flavor to lemon asparagus chicken. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make lemon asparagus chicken. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and cooking methods to find a recipe that you love.

Conclusion:

Lemon asparagus chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a new recipe to try, I highly recommend giving lemon asparagus chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
