Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) if baking, or prepare a large deep skillet for stovetop cooking.
-
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and paprika.
-
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chicken breasts, skin-side down if skin is present, or meat-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken to a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth (2 cups) to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
-
Stir the remaining flour mixture into the broth until smooth to create a light sauce.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the small new potatoes and half of the chopped fresh dill.
-
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
-
Arrange the asparagus spears on top of the chicken and potatoes.
-
Cover again and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
-
Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining fresh dill.
-
Serve immediately, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the chicken.
