Spring and summer sure bring a lots of fresh veggies. There are so many delicious ones making it hard to decide which ones to cook with first. There are fresh tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, corn and asparagus. Asparagus is one of my favorites and a fabulous vegetable to cook with. This bright green veggie is packed with vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, as well as folate, iron, copper, calcium, protein, and fiber. It has plenty of goodies that will help your body perform at its best.

The good for you asparagus helps to keep the chicken moist and it is all prepared in one ovenproof skillet. It is amazing and will give your taste buds a run for their money. Does anyone even use that idiom anymore?
