Recipe View Serve: Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or add a splash of white wine to the skillet before simmering.
If using fresh asparagus, steam it lightly before adding it to the skillet to ensure it is tender-crisp.
A squeeze of lemon juice over the finished dish adds a bright, fresh note.
To prevent the breading from becoming soggy, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumbs for a subtle kick.
