Simple lil Side - Part 3

Here at the Hart household we love asparagus. Mushrooms... not so much. Well Jason doesn't like mushrooms- I love them! But I keep trying simple sides and adding mushrooms trying to sway his opinion of them because I can't get enough. This one worked!  This side is not only simple but it's low carb and fast to prepare. I buy pre sliced mushrooms and fresh asparagus and literally in 10 minutes you have a side dish. What more could you want!?

Simple low carb ingredients!

Asparagus & Mushroom Saute: -Serves 3
1/4 Cup Chopped Onion
2 Tbsp Garlic, chopped
1 Bunch of Asparagus, ends snapped off and cut into bite size pieces
8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
4 Tbsp Butter, divided
1/4 Cup Chicken Broth
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Add 3 tbsp butter to a saute pan heated to medium high heat. Add in onion and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes. Then add in the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add in the asparagus and some salt and pepper then pour in chicken stock.  Bring to a bubble and cook for about 4-5 minutes depending how crunchy you like your asparagus. Right before serving swirl in 1 more Tbsp of butter and serve warm.

I love the bright green from cooking asparagus to perfection!

Serve this simple side with my Garlic Lemon Chicken!
