Step 1
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes or until browned on both sides (to prevent sticking, make sure the skillet and oil are hot before adding the chicken).
Step 2
Stir the soup, milk and lemon juice in the skillet. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is done. Season to taste. Serve topped with slices of fresh lemon, if desired.
Lemon Asparagus Chicken
Delicious. I served it on a bed of rice using the soup as a gravy. Instead of oil, I used unsalted butter which gave the chicken a richer flavor. I poured off the access butter before adding the soup mixture. Wish I could have found fresh asparagus to compliment the meal.
Great Recipe and easy to make
I sauteed mushrooms, set aside then cooked the chicken and set that aside. I added white wine to deglaze the pan before adding the soup, lemon juice, black pepper and milk. After it is blended add back the mushrooms and chicken into the pan. I used one can of cream of Asparagus soup and one can of cream of mushroom soup because I had to double the amount of chicken for my family and didn't want it to have an over powering taste of Asparagus. It was easy and delicious! I will make this again and again.
I've made this for probably 10 years
After cooking this for so long I've probably made it every way possible and have tweaked it to my liking. I boil a few chicken breasts and then shred them when cooked through. Then I add chicken to two cans of cream of asparagus soup and a little less than two cans of milk. While heating this together (salt and pepper of coarse and a little lemon juice also) I cook egg noodles and spoon mixture over the noodles. So much better this way and feeds a lot more people.
Awesomely delicious
This is so easy and delicious! You do need more than 1/4 milk I used 1/2 cup and the lemon, it's really to taste, I like a lot so I definitely put more than a tablespoon. I recommend this for sure!!!
Good and fast
I ended up adding a little more lemon juice while cooking the chicken. I didnt taste the asparagus but it was still good. Served it over rice.
