| Pan sauces like this one take advantage of tasty tidbits left behind when sautéing poultry or meat. |
|
|
2 tbsp all-purpose flour |
|
1/2 tsp table salt |
|
1/4 tsp black pepper |
|
1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast |
|
2 tsp olive oil |
|
1 1/3 oz pine nuts |
|
1 pound(s) asparagus |
|
2 medium shallot(s) |
|
2 medium garlic clove(s) |
|
2 tbsp fresh tarragon |
|
1 cup(s) fat-free chicken broth |
|
1/8 tsp black pepper |
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- In a flat dish or plate, stir together flour, salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour, coating both sides and patting off excess.
- In a large, nonstick skillet, warm olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté on both sides until nicely browned. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet and place in oven until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- While chicken is baking, make asparagus and pine nut topping: Reduce heat to medium and add pine nuts to pan. Sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus, shallots and garlic; sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add tarragon and chicken broth to pan and boil until broth is reduced by half. Return vegetables to pan, season with pepper and stir to heat.
- Set each breast on a plate and top with asparagus mixture. Serve immediately.
- Flavor Booster: Use a grill pan to sear chicken and give the poultry appealing grill marks. At the same time you can eliminate the flour and olive oil. Spray the grids of a stovetop grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. Heat the pan until a drop of water sizzles. Add the chicken breasts. Sear 2 minutes per side. Finish the chicken in the oven as directed.
