Lemon Asparagus Chicken

If you are looking for an inexpensive, quick, and healthy meal this is the one for you. This past weekend I found this great recipe and I couldn't wait to give it a test run. It blow all my expectations out the window for it was a wonderful, simple, and summery meal that ended up having a gorgeous presentation when it was prepared. Well I don't want to hold you up any longer but this recipe has an added bonus of only requiring about 3 ingredients that you don't already have in your pantry. Needless to say this recipe is my new ultimate favorite!

Lemon Asparagus Chicken:
Ingredients:
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chopped asparagus
2 lemons (sliced)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Directions:
Cover the chicken breast with plastic wrap and pound each piece to about 3/4 inch in thickness.
Gently toss chicken in a shallow dish containing flour and salt.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken and cook 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown while sprinkling with lemon pepper.
When the chicken in thoroughly cooked, remove from pan and transfer to a plate.
Line the pan with lemon slices, then add chopped asparagus on top.
Allow the lemons to caramelize and the asparagus to cook.
Once the lemons and asparagus are done add the chicken back to the pan.
Rearrange to create a gorgeous presentation and serve.

 
Lots of Love,  Natalie
