Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and efficient.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add too many ingredients to the skillet at once, they won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken and asparagus in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus is best when it's still slightly crisp. Cook it for no more than 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Season to taste: Taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.
