Chicken with pasta and asparagus

Another family favorite - just got some gorgeous, thin, baby asparagus at the store....yummy yummy yummy!



Doesn't it look gorgeous?

Ingredients:

5. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to pan and warm it over low heat, scraping and reserving the browned bits from just having cooked your chicken. Add fresh lemon zest and...
