Pappy's Garlic Herb Chicken With Asparagus

Serves: 4 servings 
Prep time: 10 minutes 
Cook time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients 

  • 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thigh 

  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth 

  • 3 teaspoons of Pappy’s Garlic Herb Seasoning or to taste

  • 2 teaspoon paprika 

  • 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed 

  • Slices of fresh lemon for garnish 


Instructions

  • Pat dry chicken thighs with paper towels.  Season chicken with Pappy’s Garlic Herb Seasoning and paprika on both sides.  

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  

  • Lay chicken in skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes then flip and cook another 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer displays 165 f (75c).  If chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat.  

  • Remove cooked chicken thighs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.  Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet.  Once the butter is melted, add asparagus for 4-6 minutes or until tender.  Deglaze pan with chicken broth and give a quick stir to coat the asparagus.  Reduce the sauce for one minute more.  

  • Return chicken thighs back to the pan for a couple of minutes and serve your buttery garlic herb chicken with asparagus immediately garnished with lemon slices. 

  • Notes: make sure to thoroughly pat chicken dry to ensure crispiness of the skin.
