Sauteed Chicken with Asparagus and Peppers

September 8, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you a recipe that I posted on Culinary Chat a couple of months ago.  Some of you may have noticed that I posted the link originally to my recipe page, but I wanted it to be a permanent fixture to my recipe collection since it’s one of my favorite quick meals.

When you’re in a pickle and you’re not sure what to make, this recipe is perfect.  It’s quick, healthy and full of flavor.  Since I was going for a lighter meal, I decided to leave the recipe the way it is, however, this would be fantastic served with some rice for a complete meal.


The sauce to this recipe is so good, it’s salty with just a slight hint of heat from the crushed  peppers and garlic.  To save on calories I decided to cook the vegetables in chicken broth.  It adds wonderful flavor to the vegetables and chicken, not to mention it makes the chicken juicy!  If you don’t have chicken broth, add vegetable broth, that would be good too.  Speaking of flavors, having this the next day is even better.  The flavors really intensify, so if you decide to make it, make extra!  I guarantee you will want this for lunch.

When I made this recipe I used fresh asparagus from the Farmers Market.  The key thing to keep in mind when cooking with asparagus is making sure you take off the bitter ends.  All you do is hold a spear and snap it. Wherever the piece snaps is where the bitterness ends.  My friend Connie told me about that and ever since then I never had a bitter piece of asparagus.  Plus I have to admit I love snapping asparagus.  It sounds weird, but I do.

Sorry for giving a repeat recipe, but this is to good not to share with you.  I plan on taking back my recipes from Culinary Chat, so I can be sure I share them with you.  I write for Culinary Chat once a month and it’s always a recipe I don’t post here, so stay tuned for some new recipes.

Well my Friends, time for me to go.  Little Jenny and I are off to spend the day shopping.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Toodles,

Jennifer

    That does look yummy, and simple, a winning combination. We are not big on asparagus, but I think this would be good with green, yellow, and red bell peppers.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
