Malibu Dijon Chicken Asparagus Skillet- Low carb, gluten free, savory and tasty!

After dinner and against my better judgment, my older adult kids talked me into watching a somewhat scary movie with them last night.

Even though it was fairly late at night when the movie was over, my daughter and I had to stay up later and watch a comedy skit or two before we could go to sleep. We did this so we would not have the scary movie in our brains right before going to sleep.

I believe this is my nightmare prevention technique, but usually, I never watch those kinds of movies.

Do you do this as well, or can you go right to bed after being scared?

Malibu Dijon Chicken Asparagus Skillet-

Ingredients:

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb to 1.5 lb)
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup sour cream
1 ½ tablespoon dijon style mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon thyme
⅔ cup chopped asparagus
4 slices smoked ham thin sliced, I used nitrate-free uncured ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes * optional

Directions:

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and pan sear over medium-high heat in a skillet with melted butter for about 5 to 6 minutes per side or until browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, sour cream, dijon mustard, garlic, onion powder, parsley, and thyme. Whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Bring to a boil and add back in the seared chicken breasts and chopped asparagus.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of ham, and spoon some of the sauce into the pan over the top of the chicken. Turn heat to low, cover skillet, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
While the chicken is still hot, place a Swiss cheese slice on each piece of chicken and spoon some sauce over it.
Sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes. Serve.
