- 2 Tbs Avocado Oil

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Set aside,
Prepare asparagus by chopping off the thick white base, and slice in half again. Add more oil to the pan if needed ad saute the asparagus with more salt and pepper for about 5 to 7 minutes or until tender crisp. Set aside.
Reduce heat slightly, and add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook until fragrant. Add the broth, lemon juice, coconut aminos, and arrowroot. Stir for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Add the chicken and asparagus back to the pan and cook for another few minutes to reheat. Top with green onions and enjoy! If you'd like a printer-friendly version of this recipe, Click Here.
