Chicken and Asparagus Skillet Supper
Ingredients
  • 8
    skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 3
    slices bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2
    cup chicken broth
  • 1
    pound asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1
    small yellow summer squash, halved crosswise and cut in 1/2-inch strips
  • 4
    green onions, cut in 2-inch pieces
Directions

1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In 12-inch skillet cook chicken and bacon over medium-high heat 12 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Carefully add broth; cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (180 degrees F).

2. Meanwhile, in microwave-safe 2-quart dish combine asparagus, squash, and 2 Tbsp. water. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Cook on 100% power (high) 3 to 5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring once. Transfer to plates. Drizzle cooking liquid; top with chicken, bacon, and onions. Makes 4 servings.

MmmeMoxie -- Just sprinkle the chopped green onions on to finish the dish. And I always use a plastic microwave cover. I hate it when people comment without ever reviewing a recipe! So I'll try this and get back here this weekend.

I have used plastic wrap for literally years in my microwave. There is no solid proof that using plastic wrap is bad for you. My over all family's health will attest to that. What I want to know, what do you do with the onions? Cook them or simply add them raw? The recipe doesn't say one way or the other.
