Lemon chicken with asparagus is nicely spiced and tangy. The beauty of the dish is its simplicity. The total preparation and cooking time is about 25 minutes. In light of this, it makes a great weekday dinner. I enjoy it served up with some steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
When cooking the dish, you want the chicken just to the point where parts of it are beginning to turn dark brown as it’s important not to overcook the chicken. The total cooking time should be about 8 minutes over medium high heat. I season it half way through the cook. You can, however, apply the salt and pepper before you begin frying it. I like the asparagus tender crisp. This means it’s cooked but still a little on the crispy side. In my opinion, there is nothing worse than mushy asparagus. The total cooking time should be about 4 or 5 minutes.
