What a tasty combination and so simple to make!

Lovely recipe , I will surely made it after ends of Hostgator Black Friday Sale . It is very simple to make and looks delicious.

To make this a little healthier I left out the bacon and used veggie stock.  I also played with the spices so I added some thyme and rosemary and a little pepper flake to give it a little kick.  

mmmmmmmm that was *ucking goooooooooooooood

Very disappointed in this recipe. For one the finished product did not look  like the picture. The amount of salt and pepper and bacon flavoring was over powering.  The frying of the chicken made it heavy. I am used to using herbs  for  flavor. I did like the vegetable steaming technique. I am going to  try this but tweek it, bake the  chicken with garlic  powder and pepper, eliminate the bacon and green onions. steam  the asparagus, zuchinni and a chopped red pepper and add some greek oregano.  make a  light  lemon  butter sauce to  pour over  the top.


This is a tasty recipe as is. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs. Other than that, made it as is.

For those disappointed because it's not a breakfast recipe....it's called a skillet DINNER.  You shouldn't leave a bad review because it was mistakenly, placed in a wrong category. Try it for dinner, you'll probably love it. 

I agree I was looking for the breakfast recipe two even typed the tag line into search and it did not come up....very disappointing


This recipe isn't so good since it is supposed to be asparagus+egg+toast=perfect breakfast recipe.
I really wanted the breakfast recipe. I'm not much on chicken for breakfast. Good job BHG!

If you want the creamy look cook in condensed creamy chicken soup and broth. Add 1 can of soup and half of the chicken broth.if you cooked bacon along with chicken  for 12 minutes. After braising removed coked bacon to use as garnish. The point of the bacon is to season the chicken and pan. I seasoned chicken with paprika ,salt, and pepper- could use dill if you want....Try it out

This is very good, but like the above poster states, the sauce in reality looks nothing like the light, creamy sauce in the picture. You've browned chicken in bacon and added broth. So, you get brown sauce. I'd love to know how they made the sauce represented in the picture. ( I've started to remove my bacon before I add the broth, which allows it to crisp up. Otherwise, it stays 'wet' and soggy, and doesn't appear to be cooked.)

Very easy and delicious.  I used bone-in thighs with skin, bourbon cured thick slice bacon, and 2 portabella mushrooms that needed to be used. Oh and I did use yellow zucchini squash.  Delicious and will be making this again soon!!

I am definetly going to make this,we love chicken and asparagus.

This is a wonderful summer meal... nice and light.  In the summer, you can even get the vegetables right from your garden.   I serve it with brown rice to complete the meal.

When chicken meets skillet it's quick dinner magic! In 45 minutes you'll be devouring this healthy chicken dinner with asparagus to complete the meal.
