One-Pot Lemon Chicken with Mushrooms & Asparagus

Instructions

1. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
2. Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, add mushrooms and asparagus. Cook 4–5 minutes until tender. Stir in garlic and lemon slices; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Make the sauce: Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits and simmer 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
4. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Simmer 2–3 more minutes to warm through. Garnish with parsley.
