Chicken in White Wine Garlic Sauce with Asparagus
 

This flash in the pan is as delicious as it is quick and nutritious.  
Serves 4

1/2 cup Wondra flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground
pepper
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast (approximately 1 pound)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds fresh asparagus, thin spears if available, ends broken off and rinsed
1/2 cup flat Italian parsley, roughly chopped, divided 1/4 cup
and 1/4 cup
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Equipment:
Large non-stick skillet with lid
Meat pounder
Shallow bowl or pie plate

Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow bowl.
Pound chicken breast to even thickness.  Dredge in flour.
Place olive oil in skillet and heat to medium.  Add chicken.  Brown chicken 3-5 minutes on each side until golden.  
Add the wine and chicken stock to deglaze pan.  Add garlic and cook 2 minutes to soften.  Add asparagus, basil and 1/4 cup parsley. Cover and simmer 5 minutes, or until asparagus is done to your liking.  

Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup parsley.

Cook’s tip:  Wondra, commonly known as instant flour, is very fine granular flour that is also used to make smooth sauces.   All-purpose flour can be substituted.
