Chicken Pasta Primavera - Flower Patch Farmgirl Style Recipe

Transfer the cooked chicken to a medium bowl and set it aside for now.

Return the skillet to the stove, add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and reduce the heat to medium.

Stir in the asparagus and diced bell pepper. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Pour in the heavy cream, add the crushed red pepper, and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.

Add the halved grape tomatoes, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the simmering sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, just until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.

Stir in the reserved cooked chicken pieces, then immediately remove the skillet from the heat.
