Chicken, Asparagus, and Bacon Skillet.

Very yummy recipe. Perfect for asparagus season!!

Chicken, Asparagus, and Bacon Skillet

Ingredients 


1 pound asparagus spears

4 slices bacon, coarsely chopped

4 bonless, skinless chicken breast halves or about 12 chicken breast tenders

Salt

Ground black pepper

2 medium summer squash cut in half length wise and sliced.

1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth


2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp Lemon Juice 
1 Tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1 Tbsp Dehydrated Onion Flakes (or to taste)
Directions
In a large saucepan cook asparagus in boiling water until preferred doneness. ( I like mine cooked until it falls apart!!) Drain and set aside. ( I added a bit of butter for extra yummyness!!)
In a large skillet cook bacon on medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Add chicken to skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink inside. 

Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add squash and cook on medium heat until done. In a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, flour, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and onion flakes. Pour over cooked squash and simmer on medium heat until thick.

Add chicken, asparagus, and bacon to the skillet and cook until warmed through. About 6 minutes.

Serve with your favorite rice.
