Chicken and Asparagus with Pesto Sauce

So attended my FIRST CorePower yoga tonight with Miss Anna - so we were a little hungry when we got home!!  Decided to make this super quick and easy meal that I found on Tiff's blog (and she got from "Paula Deen's Quick and Easy Meals").  This was soooo good - and soooo easy!  We both loved it so much!!
If you are just going have this - I would say it's serving size is for 2
Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons prepared pesto

Cut chicken breasts in half crosswise to make 6 pieces.  Season evenly with salt and pepper.  In a large skillet - heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add chicken and cook until done.  Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add asparagus to skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes or until tender.  Add cream, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until reduced by half.  Stir in pesto.  Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through.  Serve immediately.
