An easy, fast, tasty, healthy, all-in-one-type family dinner. You only need to add some sort of rice or noodle dish for a side. The original recipe came from Crisco -- I had clipped it from a magazine a few years back. To me, the key ingredient is the fresh dill. Enjoy! big pat.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 lb sugar snap pea, trimmed of stem ends and strings
1/3 cup flour
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more to taste
14 1/2 ounces low sodium chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon, zest of

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, heat 1/3 of oil over high heat.
  • Add peas and stir fry until bright green, 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and set aside in bowl.
  • Place flour in shallow pan.
  • Cut chicken into 1x2 inch strips or bite size pieces (strictly preference here), season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Discard leftover flour.
  • In same skillet, heat remaining oil over high heat.
  • Add chicken and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to bowl with peas.
  • Add chicken broth and garlic to skillet and cook until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and return chicken and peas to skillet.
  • Cook until just heated through.
  • Add parsley, juice and zest.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Substitution Suggestions: I use a bag of frozen sugar snaps, or a bag of frozen stir fry veggies.
  • Any of your favorite veggies would do.
  • This also goes well with rice.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken: A free-range, organic chicken will have a better flavor and texture than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to keep it moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Season the chicken generously: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices before cooking. This will help to develop a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Spring chicken saute is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your chicken is cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
