Well now, if ya want a good, hearty meal that’ll fill yer belly right up, let me tell ya about this simple chicken with asparagus and mushrooms dish. It ain’t all that fancy, but it’ll sure have ya coming back for more! All you need is some chicken, a bunch of fresh asparagus, and some mushrooms. That’s about it, real easy, real tasty.
Ingredients:
– Chicken breast (or thighs, whatever you like) – a couple pieces
– Asparagus – a good handful of fresh ones, not too big or too small
– Mushrooms – maybe about a cup, sliced up nice
– Olive oil – just a bit for frying
– Salt and pepper – just to taste, don’t get too fancy now!
Now, first thing’s first, ya gotta get that chicken ready. If it’s a big piece, I’d say slice it in half or maybe pound it out a little, so it cooks quicker and more evenly. Don’t want no raw bits in there! Season it with a little salt and pepper, both sides, nice and easy. Set it aside while ya deal with the rest of it.
Next up, those asparagus. Break off the woody ends, don’t be trying to eat those tough bits! Just snap ‘em with yer hands – they’ll break naturally where it’s right. Then, chop ‘em up into bite-sized pieces. Now, for the mushrooms, just slice ‘em thin, not too thick. Ya don’t want no big ol’ chunks that’ll take forever to cook, you hear?
Now, get yer skillet hot and put a little olive oil in it. You don’t need much, just enough to coat the bottom. Once it’s nice and hot, put the chicken in there and let it cook. Ya want it golden brown on both sides. If yer chicken’s real thick, turn the heat down a bit and let it cook through, but don’t be in too much of a hurry, okay? Give it about 6 to 8 minutes on each side depending on how thick yer chicken is.
While the chicken’s cooking, in another pan, heat up a little more oil or butter if ya got it. Toss in them mushrooms and asparagus. Cook ’em until the mushrooms start to brown and the asparagus gets nice and tender. Don’t forget to season with a little salt and pepper. You want ‘em to be flavorful, not bland like some of that old canned stuff. Cook ‘em for about 5 minutes or so, just until they’re nice and soft but still have a little bite to ‘em. You know what I mean?
When the chicken’s done, take it outta the pan and let it rest a bit. Don’t go cuttin’ into it right away or all them juices’ll run out and it’ll be dry. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, and then slice it up thin. You want to get that chicken all juicy and tender, like a good, home-cooked meal should be.
Now, it’s time to put it all together. Take yer chicken slices and put ‘em on a plate. Spoon them mushrooms and asparagus right on top of it. That’s it! Simple as pie. You can serve it with some rice or potatoes if ya like, but this dish right here, it’s good enough on its own. Full of flavor and real easy to make, just like Grandma woulda done it.
If ya like it a little creamy, I reckon you could add some heavy cream or even a little bit of cheese on top before serving. But I ain’t sayin’ ya gotta! Just keep it simple and tasty. That’s what I always say.
Tips for ya:
– If ya can’t find asparagus, don’t fret! Any green veggie like broccoli or green beans would work just fine.
– You can even throw in some garlic or onions for extra flavor, but that’s up to you.
– If you’re in a hurry, use pre-cooked chicken or even rotisserie chicken from the store. Ain’t no shame in that!
So there ya have it, folks. A quick, easy, and tasty chicken with asparagus and mushrooms dish that don’t need nothin’ too fancy to make it special. Give it a try next time you’re looking for a simple meal to fill you up. And don’t forget, a little salt and pepper go a long way. Happy cookin’!
