Ingredients

  • 1½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even 1⁄2 inch thickness and cut in half
  • 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed and cut in half
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • ¼ Cup low sodium chicken broth
  • Sea salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley to garnish
  • Lemon slices to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, add chicken garlic, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and stir well to coat.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until almost cooked through. (I will finish it together with the rest of the ingredients.)
  3. Stir in asparagus, cherry tomatoes, broth, lemon juice, and zest. Lower the heat, place a lid on, and cook, for 4-6 minutes or until chicken is tender cooked through, and no longer pink on the inside.
  4. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately or divide among four glass containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Enjoy!

Notes

  • use chicken thighs if you prefer
  • avocado oil will also work
  • any veggies you have on hand will work in place of the asparagus.
