Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Whisk together 1 cup of chicken broth, ½ cup of heavy cream, and 4 ounces of cream cheese in the skillet. Stir until smooth, then add ½ cup of shredded cheddar and ¼ cup of grated parmesan. Melt into the sauce.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spoon creamy sauce over it. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, uncover and add 1 cup of chopped asparagus. Cover again and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Remove from heat, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
