Chicken and Asparagus Skillet

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast (thinly sliced (about 6 total pieces)

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

1 lb asparagus

3 cloves garlic (pressed)

1/2 cup white cooking wine (or chicken broth)

2 cups heavy cream

Directions

Mix the flour with the garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper in a flat dish. Lay each piece chicken in the flour mixture to coat all sides. If there is any remaining flour mixture, sprinkle it over the chicken.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium to medium high heat. Once the butter is bubbly and hot, add the chicken breast to the skillet in a single layer. Cook 3-4 minutes on the first side and then flip and cook and additional 3-4 minutes.

Remove chicken from skillet, and add asparagus and garlic, cooking 1 minute and stirring continually. Pour in the cooking wine and use the spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as you stir to deglaze the pan. Continue to cook 2 minutes or until the liquid has reduced in half.

Stir in the heavy cream and remaining 1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste.) Bring to a boil, stirring regularly. Once the cream is boiling, add the chicken back into the sauce and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Remove from heat. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve over potatoes, wilted spinach, or rice. Enjoy!
