Creating the Lemon Spring Chicken and Asparagus Skillet Meal is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve a delicious result:
1. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Asparagus: In the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
6. Make Lemon Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the asparagus. Cook for another minute to heat through.
