Equipment

  • Kitchen Tools Needed
  • Large skillet
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra if needed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 chicken cutlets thin chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 bundle asparagus trimmed
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken: Pat 4 chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel. In a shallow dish, mix ½ cup all-purpose flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Sear the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Once hot, sear the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil if the pan looks dry. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add 1 bundle trimmed asparagus and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Deglaze with white wine: Pour in ½ cup white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off while enhancing the flavor.
  • Simmer the chicken: Stir 1 cup chicken broth and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley into the pan. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the asparagus and mushrooms. Cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
  • Serve and enjoy: Plate the chicken with asparagus and mushrooms, spooning the flavorful sauce over the top. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired. Serve with warm crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
