Lemon Pepper Chicken and Asparagus

This lemon pepper chicken asparagus stir-fry is a quick and flavorful one-skillet dinner made with tender chicken, crisp asparagus, and a bright lemon-butter sauce.

Sometimes the simplest meals really are the best. ♡

This lemon pepper chicken asparagus stir-fry is a perfect example, made with just a handful of fresh ingredients and one skillet. It’s a quick, flavorful, feel-good dinner you can pull together in no time! Just sauté the asparagus and garlic, cook the chicken until it’s golden and lightly crisp, then toss everything in a bright lemon-pepper butter sauce with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and dinner is ready.

We recently paired this stir-fry with my Lemon Parmesan Pearl Couscous, and it was a lemon-lover’s dream come true. But it would be equally delicious with pasta, rice, roasted potatoes, or whatever sounds good to you. It’s a simple, flexible recipe that’s easy to adapt with whatever veggies, herbs, or other fun add-ins (capers, almonds, etc) you have on hand, so please feel free to play around and make it your own!

Definitely one of those cozy, citrusy dinners you’ll want to make again and again.
