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.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over high heat, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook it until all pieces are golden brown on both sides. Reserve any remaining oil in the skillet and, settting the chicken aside when done.
Cut the asparagus into 1" lengths and mix with the bell pepper strips. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and saute the scallions and garlic over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and red pepper strips and saute for an additional 2 minutes.
Return the chicken strips to the pan (still sauteeing) and add in the chicken broth. Raise the temperature to high and cook until stock is reduced by half (about 3 minutes).

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.
