Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Asparagus: An Incredible 5-Star Recipe


  • Author: ayoub sandaly
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– Chopped parsley, for garnish
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

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

1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and trimming the asparagus.

2. Heat a Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and become bubbly.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, if using. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

4. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is almost done, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir quickly to avoid burning the garlic, about 30 seconds.

5. Incorporate Asparagus: Add the asparagus to the skillet with the chicken and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender but still bright green.

6. Finish the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and lemon juice. Stir to combine and coat the chicken and asparagus in the garlic butter sauce.

7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness and color.

8. Serve: Plate the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Asparagus and add lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.

These easy-to-follow instructions will lead you to create a wonderful dish that is not only delicious but also stunning in presentation.
