Instructions

  • Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 5-6 qt slow cooker.

One-Pan Garlic Butter Chicken (with Asparagus)

A delicious dish we all loved, from https://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/one-pan-garlic-butter-chicken/
The first time we had this, we substituted cauliflower for asparagus. It took longer at step 5, but was delicious.

Ingredients

CHICKEN SEASONING:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt see note
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

SAUCE:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or more to taste!)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley minced

Instructions

  • Place chicken in a medium bowl and toss with the spices (salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper).
  • In a large skillet, melt over medium low heat half of the butter (1/4 cup) and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Cook the chicken in the butter until all sides are golden brown being careful not to burn the butter (NOTE: this took me about 20 minutes — but the result was wonderful). Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for about 30 seconds. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet increase heat to medium high, add the remaining 1 teaspoon minced garlic then add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add the remaining 1/4 cup butter, lemon juice, sriracha, and parsley.
  • Add the asparagus and cook to desired tenderness. Add the chicken back to the pan and stir for another minute to reheat. Garnish the chicken and asparagus with more parsley and lemon slices. Serve.

Notes

The recipe calls for you to cook this faster than we did; I sauteed more slowly to avoid burning the butter sauce — it never really browned — and we were really happy with the result.
