Brown Sugar Asparagus

1. 1

   Snap off the thick woody ends of the asparagus spears and discard.

2. 2

   Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Stir in brown sugar. Cook, stirring continually until brown sugar dissolves.

3. 3

   Add the asparagus to the brown sugar mixture, turning to coat. Saute for 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the asparagus with a slotted spoon to a serving platter, reserving the pan juices in the skillet. Cover asparagus to keep warm.

5. 5

   Cook reserved pan juices in the skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by half. Drizzle over the asparagus. Garnish with orange zest strips, if desired. Serve immediately.
