Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (baby bella or cremini)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add asparagus and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic and freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for a bit of heat.
