Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Lemon Asparagus is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
4. Add Asparagus: Add the trimmed asparagus to the skillet. Stir to combine, allowing the asparagus to cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
5. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and asparagus. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
6. Season and Serve: Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.

These simple steps will guide you to create a delicious, garlic-infused chicken dish that pairs perfectly with crisp asparagus and zesty lemon.
