Instructions

1
Pat chicken pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large skillet with a lid, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2
Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3
Add quartered new potatoes and sliced carrots to the same skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften slightly.
4
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
5
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add asparagus pieces and frozen peas. Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp and peas are heated through.
6
Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped dill. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I prevent the chicken from drying out?

Ensure you don't overcook the chicken in the initial browning stage; it will finish cooking with the vegetables. Also, cutting it into even 1-inch pieces helps it cook uniformly without drying.

Can I substitute other vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to use other quick-cooking spring vegetables like green beans, snap peas, or chopped zucchini. Adjust cooking times as necessary to ensure they are tender-crisp.

Can I make this spicier?

Yes, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and onion powder for a little kick, or a dash of hot sauce at the end.
