Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) chicken breast tenders
1 lb (450g) asparagus, woody ends trimmed
3 tbsp (45g) butter, melted
1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil

1 tsp (5g) Italian seasoning
1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Season chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through; remove and set aside.

Return chicken to the pan.
