Grilled Chicken Lemon Skillet
This grilled lemon chicken skillet is a fresh and delicious meal that brings all the flavors of summer to your dinner table any time of the year. Thanks to a cast iron grill pan, you can make this healthy recipe on the stovetop and still get all the great char on your chicken and vegetables that you would with a grill.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. roasted garlic seasoning, or your favorite seasoning blend
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 lemons, sliced 1/4" thick
Instructions:
- Tenderize the chicken breasts by placing them between two sheets of Saran wrap. Pound the chicken out until it is 1/2" thick.
- Season the chicken with 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. of roasted garlic seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend).
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on a grill or on the stovetop using a cast-iron grill pan.
- Meanwhile cut off and discard the fibrous ends of the asparagus (approximately 1/4 of the asparagus). Chop the asparagus into 3" long pieces and toss with the remaining olive oil and salt.
- Flip the chicken over and add the lemons and asparagus to the grill. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
- When the lemon slices get a good char on them, set them on top of the chicken breasts so they are no longer on the direct heat. Serve immediately.
