Chicken piccata asparagus 'noodles' - recipe, serves 2: 1 large chicken breast 1 large shallot 3-4 garlic cloves 1 lb (453g) bunch asparagus 1 lemon fresh parsley capers flour olive oil butter salt pepper chili flakes (very optional) Peel and roughly chop the shallot and garlic. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut each spear into thin, noodle-like slices. Cut the lemon in half. Slice the chicken breast so that you get two pieces of half their original thickness. Pound them out so that the head end is about the same thickness as the tail end. Get all of your other ingredients handy, since you'll need them fast. Get a wide pan heating on medium and coat the bottom with olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and toss to coat in a handful of flour. Lay the pieces in the oil and cook until golden on both sides and finished on the inside (I pulled mine at 160 F/71 C, and it took me 6 minutes to get there. Be conservative with the heat and don't let anything at the bottom of the pan burn. Pull the chicken out. Dump in the garlic, shallot and asparagus. Stir constantly and cook for a minute until the garlic and/or fond seem on the verge of burning. Deglaze with water, and turn the heat to high. Stir constantly as you soften the asparagus, and add more water as needed to keep the pan from drying out and burning. As you cook, add in some drained capers, a pinch of chili flakes, and lemon juice (I used the whole lemon but you might want to start with half. When the asparagus seems just limp and noodly, turn off the heat and wait for the bubbling to almost stop. Stir in enough butter (and maybe some additional water) to get a sauce as creamy and glossy as you'd like, keeping in mind that you need enough sauce to coat the asparagus and the chicken. Taste for seasoning you might not need any additional salt, especially if you used salted butter. Lift the asparagus out of the pan distribute it on your plates, leaving most of the sauce behind in the pan. Tear in some parsley leaves, stir and let them wilt in the heat that's left in the pan/sauce. Place the chicken on the plate and top everything with the sauce

Please use something other than glass for pounding meat. it's just a super bad idea. If it's tempered glass, the more you damage it, the more likely it will randomly explode a la Pyrex. If it's not tempered glass, if it breaks, it will likely break into big sharp pieces right where your hand is. I have a scar on my thumb from years ago having an untempered glass shatter when I placed it on the counter. fortunately don't have any nerve damage, but why risk it? Just use something metal like a pan.

Man its kinda comforting to see the oil from the pan just go eeeeverywhere bc that's just normal and okay when you're pan-fying stuff. Maybe some food tubers might not have filmed that bc its messy, but its okay for cooking to be messy sometimes yaknow. I also love how Adam doesn't pre-portion stuff into the annoying little bowls, just straight from the container how I would do it. Adam's cooking feels so, organic. I love this dude

Pee-kaw with the first syllable sort-of clipped is probably about as close as you're going to get with basic English sounds. There's a sort of closed nasal n sound at the end that's very French. Look up the words quand, or ans and it's basically the same as those despite having a different end-letter. There probably are English words we stole from the French that have that sound, I just can't think of one off the top of my head.

If you want another option to get those asparagus ribbons maybe a little quicker, try a vegetable peeler. I toss a big pile of those with a lemon/garlic/olive oil dressing, Kalamata olives and some feta crumbles or shaved Parmesan for a killer summer salad. I've brought it to several barbecues and there are never leftovers to bring home.

It is so refreshing for you to advocate for using water in place of chicken stock. EVERYONE always uses chicken stock in everything and then ultimately every dish has a similar background flavor. If you build your flavor properly you never need chicken stock. Excellent weeknight recipe, will do this tomorrow.

No white wine for deglacing the pan? I am disappointed! Just joking hahahaha Actually I am curios why you have used water in this case, instead of white wine? Which is something I would use out of habit. BTW, love green asparagus as well. A shame it is a little pricey where I life.

Hey Adam, love this recipe and I'm definitely gonna try it out. I'm interested in mold! I think a video about mold and especially about how safe it is to cut off and which foods have mold that's really bad for you. I think that's on brand for your sciencey vids.

Dear Adam, why don't you know that you can simply snap each individual asparagus and it'll break with the woody part in one hand and the tender part in the other hand? It's so much more satisfying than trying to cut the entire bunch in the same spot.

I saw a trick in which the cook used the asparagus woody stems to make asparagus stock, and he cooked the asparagus (in this case anything in the sauce) in the asparagus stock. Could work here.

That's a lot of oil splatterage. Does anyone frequently use one of those screen guard things? I can never decide whether cleaning one of those things or just wiping the oil up is more cumbersome.
