  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  2. Sizzle that chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the sliced chicken until golden brown, seasoning as it cooks.
  3. Add the flavor builders: Remove chicken, add butter, melt, and sauté garlic and onions until fragrant.
  4. Green goodness time: Add asparagus and peas, cooking until tender yet vibrant.
  5. Let’s get saucy: Pour in white wine and simmer, then add heavy cream, whole milk, and lemon juice, stirring to thicken.
  6. Bringing it all together: Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer with the sauce.
  7. Plating time: Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
