Categories     Chicken     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons (30 ml) grapeseed oil
2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, thinly sliced
4 thin slices of prosciutto, chopped into small pieces (optional)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) garlic powder
6 - 8 stalks of asparagus, chopped into bite size chunks
1/2 small onion, thinly diced
1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock (white wine might work too)
kosher or sea salt and black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh rosemary, trimmed from stalk and chopped into fine bits
pasta, freshly cooked or leftovers - angel hair, linguine or your choice
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) freshly grated asiago or parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare ingredients as noted. Add oil to a deep dish frying pan over medium heat on stove top. Once oil is heated, add chicken breasts, prosciutto, onion, garlic powder, a bit of salt and pepper. Saute together, stirring periodically, for 2 to 3 minutes before adding asparagus, crushed garlic and rosemary. Add chicken stock (or white wine) and cover for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring from time to time, until chicken is cooked (not overdone). (As the chicken is thinly sliced it won't take long to cook. The asparagus should be crisp with a bright colour when the pasta is served.) Add enough pasta for two people. Mix with other ingredients and heat through. This shouldn't take long. Add cheese and melt through pasta, etc. Season with pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts remain juicy and tender, it's crucial to not overcook them. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, and remove it from the pan once it reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • For a more flavorful dish, consider marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking. This will help infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist.
  • If you prefer a crispy skin on your chicken breasts, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and brown beautifully in the pan.
  • For a healthier version of this dish, use skinless, boneless chicken breasts and reduce the amount of butter used. You can also substitute olive oil or cooking spray for the butter.
  • Feel free to experiment with different vegetables in this recipe. Some other great options include broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers.

Conclusion:

Rosemary asparagus chicken is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, and it's also a good source of protein. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
