Instructions
- Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- While butter is melting, whisk together flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, being sure to coat all sides.
- Once butter is melted, add your chicken to the pan in a single layer (you'll probably need to squish them in there, it's perfectly fine if they are touching and squished). Cook for about 2-3 minutes - just long enough to brown the outside of the chicken, then flip the chicken and move all chicken breasts over to one side of the skillet as best you can.
- Add asparagus to the bare part of the pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cook chicken and asparagus until chicken is white through the middle and asparagus is tender.
- Sprinkle chicken and asparagus with the parmesan cheese. Allow to cook another couple of minutes until the cheese is melty (you can set a pot lid or a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the pan to speed this up!) Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- If your skillet isn't big enough to cook chicken and asparagus at the same time, then first cook the chicken fully in the pan. Then, take the chicken out and place it on a plate. Cook the asparagus in the same skillet until tender, then place the chicken back into the skillet on the bed of asparagus. Sprinkle with cheese and let the cheese melt with the lid on. This will also allow the chicken to get nice and hot before serving!
- You can use chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer! If the chicken thighs are small-medium sized, they should cook in the same amount of time. If they are larger, the cooking time may vary!
- Serve your asparagus with a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tangy, fresh flavor!
- If you need an additional side dish, serve with crispy roasted smashed potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes!
