A flavorful Chicken, Asparagus, and Mushroom Skillet ready in just 30 minutes for a delightful dinner experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken Breast (skinless, boneless)
- 1 lb Asparagus (trimmed)
- 8 oz Mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
- 2 Tbsp Butter (or olive oil)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (fresh)
- 1/4 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Tbsp Herbs (thyme or parsley)
- 2 cups Quinoa or Rice (for serving)
- Additional Fresh Herbs (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Step: Slice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, trim the tough ends off the asparagus, and slice the mushrooms.
- Step: In a large skillet, heat a blend of olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes.
- Step: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Step: Add the fresh asparagus and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Step: Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken.
- Step: Sprinkle in the herbs, along with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together, cooking for another minute.
- Step: Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with additional fresh herbs, and serve hot.
Notes
Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top before serving for extra brightness. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding chicken to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
