Preparation

Step 1

Cook chicken in a little oil until almost done. Add asparagus to boiling water and cook until firm-tender, about two to three minutes.
Meanwhile, combine olive oil, lemon peel, tarragon and cheese in a large pan, breaking up the goat cheese as you put it in. Add chicken and asparagus to pan, along with a couple splashes of the broth. Toss until smoothly combined, adding more broth if needed. Season pepper, and lemon juice if needed.
