Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
olive opil
-
4 tablespoons
unsalted butter
-
2 cups
chicken fillets
-
salt, to taste
-
pepper, to taste
-
5 ounces
asparagus
-
1
garlic clove, thinly slices
-
3.5 ounces
green peas, frozen
-
2 tablespoons
dry white wine
-
6
sage leaves
Directions
-
Season both sides of the chicken fillets with salt and pepper.
-
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and the oil. When the foam begins to subside, add the fillets and cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, then flip and cook another 8 minutes or until both sides are lightly browned, the chicken is tender and completely cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside in a warm place while you make the sauce.
-
Using the same skillet set over medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and swirl to melt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the foam completely subsides and the butter takes on a toasted fragrance. Add the asparagus and simmer, stirring continuously, until they just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the peas and cook, stirring until they are heated through and beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the white wine and sage leaves, continue cooking until the alcohol evaporates, about 15–30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Uncover the chicken, serve immediately with brown butter asparagus. Delicious with crispy baked potatoes or bread. Enjoy!
