Description
A delicious Lemon Garlic Chicken dish infused with garlic and zest, served alongside vibrant asparagus.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 2 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour mix
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chicken bone broth
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
Instructions
- Pound the halved chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/4 inch).
- Season with Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in flour and shake off any excess.
- Add the asparagus with 1/4 cup water in a large skillet, cover, and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Remove the asparagus and set it aside. In the same skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through and golden-brown.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. Add chicken bone broth, half-and-half, remaining Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the pan.
- Reduce over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Add the lemon juice, then nestle the cooked chicken into the sauce and simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
- Serve with the asparagus, drizzling the sauce generously over the chicken.
Notes
For the best flavor, marinate chicken in the mustard and seasonings for an hour or overnight.
