Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast sliced thin in bite size pieces
  • 4-5 large segments of garlic, crushed
  • 1 lb asparagus, cleaned, trimmed and but into 2 inch pieces
  • ⅓-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ of a fresh lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb of your favorite pasta, cooked and drained
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, saute meat until almost cooked, add garlic and saute until chicken is starting to brown a little. Make sure to salt and pepper chicken while it is cooking.
  2. Add cut up asparagus and cook just until asparagus is tender, add a little more salt and pepper. (I cook my pasta while I am doing the sauteing of the chicken and asparagus.)
  3. Once asparagus is tender, remove pan from heat and squeeze the lemon over the chicken asparagus mixture, careful not to get any seeds in it and then shake on the Parmesan cheese and stir until everything is coated evenly.
  4. Drain pasta and toss together with chicken asparagus mixture. Serve with wedges of lemon and Parmesan cheese so people can add more to their individual serving if they would like. Enjoy!
