This recipe comes from the May 22, 1990 issue of Woman’s Day. This was one of my most favorite recipes my mom made when I was in high school. I loved it so much that for over 4 years I’d been asking her to send me the recipe. She never got around to it, and I made it my mission to locate this recipe when we visited her this summer. Mission accomplished! The recipe was every bit as delicious as I remember, and even -s loved it. In fact when I was looking at the pictures I asked him which one was best and he said “my mouth is watering just looking at that chicken.” The original recipe calls for bone in chicken, but I much prefer the boneless, so the recipe below is for the boneless chicken. I couldn’t decide on the photos, so you get two to tempt your palate.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 c. all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 2 TBSP oil
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 c. chicken broth
- 1/4 c. fresh dill, chopped
- 8 small new potatoes (12 oz.), quartered–make potatoes pieces approximately the same size for even cooking
- 12 oz fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice (I used the juice of the entire lemon)
Directions:
- Mix flour, salt, and paprika in a medium sized bowl.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shake chicken to remove excess flour, then add to hot pan and cook each side until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Chicken will not be fully cooked at this point. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Meanwhile, pour broth into the remaining flour mixture, and whisk until smooth.
- Add broth mixture, potatoes, and 2 TBSP of the fresh dill to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes.
- Add asparagus and chicken and simmer covered for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes and asparagus are tender. I promise that if you have to cook it longer, the chicken will not over cook.
- Remove from heat and add remaining fresh dill and lemon juice.
