Creamy Skillet Chicken and Asparagus Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 tsp olive oil (4 healthy fats)
- 36.4 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1" chunks ~ Should yield 24 oz cooked (4 leaners)
- 1/2 C low sodium chicken broth (1/2 condiment)
- 2 tsp fresh chopped garlic (2 condiments)
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (1/2 condiment)
- 4 tbsp fresh chopped chives (1 condiment)
- 4 tbsp light cream cheese (4 condiments)
- 4 cups (18.88 oz) fresh asparagus, cut into 2" pieces (8 greens)
Directions
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium high heat.
- When hot, add chicken breasts and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken should be slightly browned.
- Pour the broth into the pan and, using a spatula, scrape all the browned bits (fond) off the bottom of the pan.
- Add garlic seasoning, cream cheese and asparagus. Turn the heat to high.
- Stir the ingredients continually, allowing the cream cheese to melt evenly into the sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer until a thick, rich sauce has formed. Divide into 4 equal portions, and serve hot!
