Lemon Chicken W/ Asparagus

I tried a new recipe awhile back that I wanted to share because it was SUPER tasty!!!

"The Kitchen Diva's Lemon Chicken With Asparagus"

4 (4oz) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 TBSP Olive oil
1 TBSP poultry seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
4 garlic gloves, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stem removed, seeded and diced
1/2 lb asparagus, cut into 1-in pieces
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock or water
2 cups cooked brown rice or whole wheat couscous

Directions

Prepare rice/couscous per package directions

Rinse chicken under cold water. Pat dry with food safe paper towels. Season chicken with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add chicken. Cook about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Move chicken to sides of pan and stir in garlic and red pepper. Add asparagus and cook 1 minute. Stir in zest and chicken stock or water and turn heat to low. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes. Serve immediately over rice or couscous.

I got this recipe off the Dr Oz web site. Hope you enjoy!! Let me know what you think!
