Tips:
- Choose fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips.
- Trim the asparagus. Remove the tough ends of the asparagus by snapping them off or cutting them off with a knife.
- Blanch the asparagus. This will help to preserve the asparagus's color and flavor. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Remove the asparagus from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will help to give the sauce a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the dish immediately. Creamy asparagus chicken is best when served hot. Serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:

The dish is also versatile and can be served over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, creamy asparagus chicken is a surefire hit with the whole family.
