  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed (1 bunch)
  • 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
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour mix*
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • ¾ cup half-and-half
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice

Instructions

  1. Pound the halved chicken breasts between plastic wrap to an even thickness of about ¼ inch. Season with Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, shaking off any excess flour.
  3. In a large skillet, add asparagus with ¼ cup of water, cover, and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, then add chicken. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through with a golden-brown crust. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Pour chicken bone broth and half-and-half into the pan, along with remaining Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Reduce over medium-low heat until thickened, coating the back of a spoon.
  6. Stir in the lemon juice and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through, then finish with lemon zest.
  7. Serve chicken with asparagus and drizzle the sauce over the top.
