One Pan Lemon Chicken with Asparagus ?

      

                 Ok so first things first – how was your weekend? Do anything fun? Now that the weather here is starting to brighten up a touch I’ve been trying to take advantage of every opportunity to go outside and just soak up some vitamin D. It’s amazing what a little sunlight and fresh air can do for my mood. I just need to make sure I remember that when I’m feeling like a hermit and don’t want to leave the house.

Yesterday I also took advantage of the partially sunny weather by trying my hand at making a stop motion video. I need more practice, for sure, but it was so much fun to make! I just need to figure out a way to control the light better. Ya girl’s struggling to keep up with those damn clouds.
But anyway – onto the recipe!

I’ve made this chicken for Mike soooo many times this week. While I usually don’t like making the same thing for dinner too often, I don’t mind making this because it’s just so easy.

This Lemon Chicken Dish Is

Perfect!

I know how much you guys like easy chicken dishes so I had to share another one but this time with lemon & asparagus as the main stars. It just feels so very much like a spring time dinner to me – it had to be done!

The method here is simple enough: coat your chicken in light flour batter. You can use a regular gluten free flour or tapioca/arrowroot if you’re looking for a grain free, paleo option that’s also Whole30 compliant.

After you brown the chicken on both sides, you quickly braise the asparagus in the pan along with a little garlic, stock, lemon juice and mustard. Once the sauce reduces down you simply add the chicken back to the pan, sprinkle with some parsley for added freshness and you’re done! All done in less than 30 minutes and in one pan.

Serve the lemon chicken & asparagus over a bed of rice/cauliflower rice to soak up all the saucy goodness and enjoy! Bright and punchy lemon garlic flavours with a tangy,  mustard bite – what’s not to love? And with minimal clean up too!
