Directions

Prep 10 minCook 25 min

1
Pat the chicken dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add half of the coconut oil.
3
Sear the chicken until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate (it will finish cooking later).
4
Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining coconut oil, then stir in the crushed garlic, asparagus, and sliced mushrooms.
5
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is crisp-tender and the mushrooms are browned and fragrant, about 8–10 minutes.
6
Return the chicken to the pan. Pour in the coconut milk, lemon juice, and add the lemon zest. Stir to combine.
7
Cover, bring to a gentle bubble over medium heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer 3–5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to 165°. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
