Zubereitung

1. 1

   Add lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt to a large bowl and whisk together with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add chicken and evenly coat, massaging spices into chicken. Let sit at room temperature 15-30 minutes, time permitting (you can prep your garlic, asparagus, etc. at this time).

2. 2

   Melt one tablespoon Brummel and Brown® Original Spread with one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden. Flip chicken over and add garlic and 2 tablespoons Brummel and Brown® Original Spread to the middle of the pan and sauté 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, oregano, parsley and thyme.

3. 3

   Spoon sauce over chicken a few times, cover chicken, and cook an additional 3-5 minutes (depending on thickness) or until chicken is cooked through/registers 165 degrees F. Remove chicken to a plate and tent with foil.

4. 4

   Add the asparagus to the pan with the remaining sauce and sauté until crisp tender, 3-4 minutes. Add chicken back to the pan along with any accumulated juices and warm for a minute. Serve with rice, potatoes, pasta, etc.
