Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Lemon Asparagus

Loved this! Only one thing is I should have read these reviews first and reduced the amount of butter. Recipe has double the amount needed I'd say

Cut the butter in half and you still have ample for flavor. Great tasting dish. Made a side of couscous to go with it which was a great addition

Delicious and very flavorful.

Lots of butter in this one, folks. My picky eaters liked the butter and lemon combo. My cardiologist might scold me...

Was okay. Didn't meet expectations.

Family loved it.

Amazing! The only change I made was to sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on the asparagus after it was done cooking. I also served rice on the side.

It took a little longer to make than I expected but very tasty and easy to follow in the end.

Soooo much butter, would be just fine with half what it calls for. Served with some rice.

This is so much better than I expected, and very easy to put together. Used 1 TBL of lemon juice, Sriracha is a must. Didn't have asparagus or broccoli so I peeled and microwaved 4 small potatoes, cut them up and put them in the sauce near the end, to soak up that yummy flavor. Fantastic weekday meal!

I was able to feed my whole household and everyone loved it. I will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation of recipes. Added bonus of making the house smell wonderful while I was cooking it. It had everyone wandering into the kitchen to ask what smelled so good.

The only asparagus that Tesco had came with tenderstem broccoli. Thought, "Why not?" Did not regret it. Also helps that my 1 year old likes broccoli

This is probably the tastiest thing I've ever cooked. I didn't let the chicken brown enough so it looks sad but it was perfectly cooked anyway. I replaced the asparagus with green beans. Don't. They're too sweet to go well with the sauce. Broccoli would probably have been a better choice. The star of the show is definitely the sauce, which I was licking off my plate. I thought the Sriracha was a bad idea but boy, it was so delicious. I do want to note that I added a bit more garlic than the recipe called for. Great choice for sure. I'll definitely be making this again.

Very good. You have to be careful with how long you cook the chicken or it will dry out when you return it to the pan with the asparagus.

Very delicious, would recommend I had to use broccoli because there was no asparagus on the shop but still nice.

I made it with broccoli instead of asparagus and it turned out really good!

Do you want restaurant food at home? Because this is high end restaurant food at home. So unbelievably delicious I wish I had made double for left overs. Only thing different I did was toss the chicken in flour before frying to get that extra crisp. 10/10

I needed to change it up . Good meal for that.

The whole family loved this. I did add the juice of a whole lemon and I made some instant pot mashed potatoes to go with it! Yum!

Good but basic.

Delicious and the recipe was easy to follow! I made it with only 1 pound for 2 people. I would’ve added rolls or mashed potatoes, but I forgot. My husband said that a aioli sauce would’ve been good to add also

Quick and easy. Plus yummy. I added lemon zest to the top as well.

Really simple and tasty! The asparagus was amazing when I followed the recipe, tender yet crunchy. The sauce compliments the chicken and the garnish well. Will certainly do it again!

I used thighs instead of breast.

I added a little more of each spice but overall, delicious!

We dove in too fast to snap a pic! We used siracha as the hot sauce and definitely added the pepper flakes! Wow this was delish! The link was hard to follow on a phone but now I know exactly what to do to repeat it for another dinner. Definitely a winner. I doubled the recipe.

It was healthy, it was good. I would add some rice or something 😋

This was very good and easy. The sauce made the asparagus a step up for us, because we love asparagus. Definitely a do again.

It was good I would make it again I added my own seasoning to it also. My husband doesn’t eat veggies usually and he ate it and liked the asparagus so that’s a win

This was so good! Only recommendation is not using as much butter. 1 stick (¼ cup) is plenty.

Instructions were hard to follow. Chicken was dry. If I do try again, I will make with chicken thighs.

I would make this again with some modifications

Easy recipe with great flavor... I probably wouldn't cook the asparagus this way again. But the chicken taste great. I served this dish with white rice. Kid and husband approved.

Use less salt

It was good!

The directions are over-complicated and kind of annoying. My rewritten recipe card says: 1) Cut 3 chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Season chicken bites with salt, pepper and onion powder. 2) Blanch asparagus (Add to pot of boiling water. Boil 3-5 min. Add to ice water to stop cooking, set aside) 3) Pan fry chicken bites in half the butter and oil in batches ‘til nice and brown. Add minced garlic & Italian seasoning ‘til fragrant. 4) Remove bites from skillet. Deglaze skillet with broth (and/or dry white wine). Add butter, lemon, parsley, sriracha. Mix well. Add back chicken & asparagus. Reheat and serve with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, riced cauliflower etc.

Good flavours no doubt 😫 but could have comfortably eaten 4 serves between 2 of us

I’ll try chicken thighs next time. The breast was very dry

The whole family loved this dish.

It was ok. Not to my taste.

Used frozen frozen asparagus in the airfryer and it came out great

Added lemon garlic seasoning mix. Used a large pan but didn’t brown. Skillet is really needed.

As a beginner, it took me longer to make than the suggested time, but it was great! Everyone loved the chicken, and liked the asparagus (we're used to it being more cooked). Next time, I'll use skinny asparagus, or broil it.

Its so good and fresh

Chicken Kinda dry, would be good with white

Spices and herbs made it delicious. Will definitely make again.

Delicious! I love the lemony flavor. I pan fried some red potatoes in a separate pan and served them on the side. They soaked up the butter lemon sauce 😋 so good

Haven't made the asparagus since the kids don't like it, but the love the chicken bites.

I definitely could have browned my chicken a lot more lol but it tastes delicious! Very easy to make. Great recipe for a work day!

Awesome recipe, quick and delicious. I tweaked it though… butter + hot sauce = Buffalo sauce. So I just removed all that butter and replaced it with my Buffalo dry rub. Also used thighs instead of chicken breasts because that’s what I had. Recipes are guidelines, not rules, amiright?

I used chicken thighs so I really didn't add much butter because they were already a little bit oily. But this is definitely going to become a go to dish. I rarely use onion powder but it just adds so much flavor and I think I will incorporate it in more recipes.

Yummy! Served with mashed potatoes, because obviously. Kids and hubs wouldn’t eat the asparagus, so my roomie and I got to go halvsies on it. Best part is that you can some of butter mixture still in the pan as a topping for your taters.

This was really good and quick! Used frozen asparagus (cuts & tips), added extra garlic and used juice of full lemon. Served over brown rice.

Chicken is a little dry but honestly who didn’t expect that. Broccoli is delish with this.

Yummy!! Even my kids loved it!

I added extra garlic and next time I would cut the buttering the asparagus to 2 T. Really good!

So good! Would cook a bit higher as it seemed to be a bit cooler when we went to eat but still so good!

My family really enjoyed this recipe.

Very tasty! I omitted the hot sauce ond chili powder, and used chicken broth instead of wine- it still came out great. Served with bread.

Tasty, but very very buttery (duh! There's an entire stick!) Just a bit more "greasy" than I had planned. But the flavor is good.

I made white rice to go with it as well.

Will definitely do it again. Didn't need anything else. It was plenty all on its own

Really tasty. I used chicken thighs and a bit more garlic, because garlic. Also used green beans and mange tout as the oh doesn't like asparagus (weirdo). Really quick and nommy for a weeknight dinner!

Used chicken thighs and subbed more flashes for hot sauce. Loved it!!

I skipped the stock. Still delicious

Really impressed with this one! Fantastic depth of flavour. I served it with caramelised leek mash! Mmmmmm

The bf wasn’t excited about it at first but we ending up loving it! Next time I’ll probably cook the asparagus a bit longer. Wasn’t a 30 min cook time for me.. maybe I was just slow

Tastes like it has more calories than it does even with all that butter :) Will make again

I didn't use any hot sauce but was still delicios, the recipe is definitely not under 30 min cook.

We really enjoyed the simplicity of this meal. Nothing like simple butter garlic and lemon seasoned chicken and asparagus! This will be a do-over at our house!

It was more work then it was worth

Once you get past the beginning of the article it comes from it's pretty easy to make.

Used a total of 1/4 c butter and added roasted pots. I literally could eat this every day!

Very decent - 7/10 overall. In retrospect should’ve bought more asparagus and added chilli flakes. Recommend with new potatoes. Presentation pretty poor on my half

I also added red potatoes small wedges. The recipe is excellent and I will be adding it to my rotation of meals.

Probably gonna do broccoli and/or cauliflower next time I make this. The sauce was absolutely delicious. Even though there's a bit of hot sauce in it, it's not really spicy at all 😁

I didn't really note the times I just did everything till it was cooked - feel like the recipe states waaay too much butter, it was yummy though. Also cooked it at the end on a bit to high heat but in a way I liked it as it made the sriracha sauce go kinda sticky and was super yummy! It had the perfect amount of spice too, was quite mild but had the flavour from the chilli and sriracha 🤩 I added green beans and tenderstem to which were great additions too (just cooked a bit quicker then the asparagus but still amazingly yum!)

This dish was ok, a little labor intensive which the chicken cur in chunks for a weeknight. Flavor was decent.

Served with Rice. Mom loves asparagus, but I would like to try it with broccoli or green beans

Only one bunch of asparagus is necessary. Two will be a lot and will overcrowd the pan unless you work in batches. Otherwise, this recipe comes together just as it says it will, and since I only cooked one bunch of asparagus, I have more for another go at this later this week!

It was good but getting the chicken to brown was difficult

Made this dish for supper after shopping with my Mom i think we went to every store lol .The dish was quick ,easy and delicious so impressed

So yummy!

I used a lot less butter, perhaps 50g total instead of 1/2 a cup

Used fresh green beans instead. It turned out wonderful!

The link for the recipe didnt work so i winged it. Tastes great

I didn't make the asparagus with this but the chicken was AMAZING! It is a bit spicy so I would either cut down on the Sriracha or use a different hot sauce. I also used half the butter it called for and it was still very buttery.

I didn't have asparagus, but served with rice instead

This was a winner. I used green beans instead of asparagus.

Use less butter

This was delicious. We liked it. The only thing I'd do different is less cream cheese. Never thought I'd say that, but amount the recipe calls for is a bit much. It was great, otherwise!

Ahhhhhhmazing!

Can substitute brussle sprouts when needed.

I’d give this 7/10. Go heavier on the garlic if you make it. Feels lacking in that department to my tastes. 4-5 cloves would have been better.

I would definitely cut up the asparagus next time so it's easier to eat with the bites of chicken! the green beans I had were absolutely delicious. I would also recommend roasting the veggies before adding them to the skillet, it adds a nice crunch! With the shortage of Sriracha, I used honeyracha instead, I would add at least 2 tbsp since it has that extra sweetness and could use a bit more spice!

Thanks for the recipe!

Swapped the asparagus to green beans and used garlic parmesan wedges to accompany

The best chicken I've ever cooked myself!!

Loved it. The chicken was so flavorful. I subbed frozen asparagus and skipped the blanching step and it was fine.

Very tasty, definitely used more garlic (5-6 cloves). Took over an hour with all of the prep (which isn't much but I'm a slow chopper). Added a couple pinches of red pepper flakes to broth.

text

It was great! The picture doesn't look like much but the asparagus was SUPER juicy and perfectly cooked! The chicken was also buttery and delicious. I added about 1/4 cup extra butter while cooking the asparagus and salt, pepper and chili flakes while it cooked.

So darn tasty and easy! I didn’t use hot sauce or anything and I cheated a little on the asparagus (for the first time ever, I used canned stalks! They were better than anticipated). I added fresh thyme to the recipe (perfect pop of flavor) I would totally make this again and bonus…if you happen to have leftovers, the reheat great! I’m very pleased this turned out to be a great recipe.

Made with smashed potatoes and it was delightful. Even the kids ate it (slight protest with the asparagus)

I agree with another review that this recipe is easier than what the instructions make it out to be. I noticed someone else had red potatoes with their meal. I'm going to try that next time. It needed something and I think little boiled red potatoes would be delicious! It was a little too salty for us too. But I think that's just us. We don't use a lot of salt.

Tasted good, but this is far from a 30-minute meal! In order for this to be a 30-minute meal you would have to par-boil and ice bath your asparagus before you even start cooking anything else (and add more time at high altitude!) It was good but took 2 hours & 15 minutes! And that was with the chicken already cut up! Would make again but allow more time or pre-cook everything and throw it together to warm up before eating. You might want to shake a little parmesan on at the end too.

Throughly enjoyed the recipe the garlic butter sauce easily is the best part of the dish I added a bit more red pepper flakes for a little more heat

Made it, love it! I think I added a little too much butter, but it still tasted great!

My 18 year old son made this for dinner for our family, it was super easy to make and DELICIOUS!

Favorite new go-to recipe! So tasty and leaves you feeling just the right amount of full. Great weeknight option.

Loved the tiny bit of spice added to the asparagus!

It was all so amazing and it was easy to make!

Made with Brussels sprouts instead of asparagus!

This was delicious! The flavor was so good!

Nice but nothing special

I used some habanero hot sauce instead of sriracha. It came out excellent, the habanero blended pretty well with the flavors. If you use too much though, it can be overpowering.

Just added some buttered red potatoes with parsley. Very easy, quite tasty meal. Update: Made it again and got the chicken browned a bit better. Didn’t take a photo this time though. Also, my asparagus was really thin and I think it would have been better had I cut it in half and put the bottom half in a bit before the tips. I did skip parboiling it as the recipe suggested.

I would add a little caramel to make it look brown, so I don't need to dry out the chicken.

Very tasty. Preferred the taste before adding lemon juice.

It was very good. I did add 2tsp of honey when I deglazed- it needed a little sweet. I served it with seasoned basmati rice.

I think I cooked the chicken wrong as it came out dry, but it was an easy enough dish to make that was amazing to eat! It made enough for two portions.

Nice and tasty

We had a batch of asparagus from the garden and this was perfect! How can you go wrong with a stick of butter......? It was relatively easy prep and will now be added as a go-to. I want to say I would reduce the butter next time but I probably won't. I didn't bother blanching the asparagus and it was fine. I didn't have any Siracha, so I tried some sweet chili paste and that gave it a nice tangy taste.

I've made a lot of recipes from the whisk app and their have been some delicious meals made but this is another level - you simply need to make it amd try for yourself simply delicous

Chicken was bland I'd add more seasonings and fresh herbs

Went with roasted asparagus and served with rice.

Really good but will make a few adjustments next time; reduce italian seasoning & lemon juice. . Cooked asparagus in oven instead. Used thighs instead of breasts. Replaced red pepper flakes with cayenne. Added more broth for more sauce. Will serve over pasta next time.

It was alright, he said it was good.. Nothing mind-blowing.

m m m m m m m m m chimken

It was fun making it! Just didn’t add the Sirracha… but the chicken itself was just 👌🏼👌🏼

Rkhtiv

The recipe is written more complicated than it has to be, but it’s very delicious.

Super delicious !!! Recommend to eat it while it's fresh 🥰

Liked this recipe!

It was delicious! I served it over brown rice and the whole family liked it. I used frozen asparagus and cooked them straight in the glaze and they tasted great and didn't take long to cook at all!

Sorry for the messy plate pic! Overall good, would make again but not often - uses an astronomical amount of butter. We used vegan butter and topped with a little vegan parm. Be sure not to crowd the pan, cook in batches if necessary! Will try white wine instead of broth to deglaze next time.

Okay... this was easily one of my favorite meals I've ever made. Wow is an understatement. My daughter isn't a fan of a ton of spices just yet so I gave her the seasoned chicken before the last step with the Sriracha and chicken broth. She loved it. My husband and I want to make it again asap. So, sooo good! Adding it to our rotation for sure.

Watch it so it doesn’t dry out! Chicken cooks fast 😬

Fabulous!

apologies, i'd already eaten half of it before i remembered to take a picture

Mmm so much butter! Definitely do the chicken in batches to get it golden.

It was too oily not sure where I went wrong 😅

Added salt and pepper to the asparagus and it was great!

Super lecker, Polenta passt perfekt dazu

Brown chicken in butter on high heat. We sautéed in oil on medium heat and chicken looked pale. However this recipe is very tasty and we’ll definitely make it again

I cannot describe how good this is. I made some modifications to the recipe, though. I used red wine instead of chicken broth, and trust me, it works wonderful. This one was also mentioned in the recipe. Second change is that, instead of serving it with rice, as recommended, I served it on polenta, and I think it works so much better than rice would have!

The sauce was a bit burnt since the chicken took longer to cook, but overall very yummy!

Very tasty!

Season as you go. I'd say add a little more butter and broth or white wine to the chicken in its final go through the pan. It'll give it a nice glaze and also make cleaning the pan easier.

I tweaked this just a bit. I didnt cook tye asparagus in the same skillet. I prefer my asparagus broiled, crispy with melted mozzarella so I cooked it separate. The chicken was amazing and a hit with everyone

The only thing I'd change is make more! Made mine with heat and it really hit the spot. I will definitely be making again.

This was easy and quick. I made two batches, one very spicy and the other bland. Both were hits. Thanks!

the instructions were confusing to me, so i just followed the ingredients and made it on my own without the instructions!

Really great! We made it extra spicy with our garlic spicy sauce and sriracha and it was one of our favourite meals!

Very tasty. I put it on top of coconut rice to make it a little more filling for the family

The instructions were not very helpful. I just winged the whole recipe. Turned out tasty.

I’m not the type of person that can fry chicken in butter. I added an onion and the reduction time was nearly doubled, but the chicken was moist. I doubled the spice, added nearly 6 tablespoons of the bottled lemon juice and it was decent. I think it needs more garlic, though. It seemed to miss the savory side. I wasn’t a fan, but my partner loved it. If I made something similar, I’d double the garlic and make a bit more of the sauce on the side for the rice.

A different chicken dish, finally. This was very good. I added broccoli florets as well, which actually made it a little dry, so next time I do that, I will cut down on the asparagus. Even still, great flavor! My husband loved it.

This is a great one pan dish. I made a half recipe, used boneless skinless thighs, and cut my asparagus spears into shorter pieces because I was using a 10” skillet. Didn’t blanch the asparagus because it was young, tender & skinny spears. Really good!

What I really liked about this recipe was the asparagus I am not an asparagus person but this was the best

Added a bit less seasoning than the recipe called for and it still tasted great!

It was very tasty but the only downside is that the amount of lemon juice. It should be measured by spoons not "half the lemon" my one was very juicy and it was too sour.

It was so so good. I'm not a big spice person so I used a hot sauce that has more flavor than heat and I didn't add the red pepper flakes. Seriously will be a go to. It was super easy. Less time consuming if you have a big skillet

Super delicious! Took longer than 30 minutes to get the chicken browned but so worth it!

Made it with pasta as the portion was too little. Found it too spicy but to be fair I'm a person who can't handle spice well.

Add butter noodles or rice

Chicken was a little dry but that's probably my fault :) next time will cook the chicken slightly less. Asparagus was delicious

Added too much broth but it was still good!

It took way more than 10 mins

Added fries. Used too much water for the chicken broth, but tasted delicious.

I didn't like lemon on the asparagus, I much prefer parmesan. And the chicken was just okay for having to go through cutting it all up.

Used a whole lemon instead, made it tangier. Passed on hot sauce but used chilli flakes as desired when serving—prefer that to control how spicy it is for everyone eating.

Manque un accompagnement (riz ou pâtes)

Meh

I skipped the hot sauce and added maybe a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. I used a whole lemon rather than half.

The chicken bites were unreal - I’ve never done it with the asparagus because I have a fear of asparagus wee - broccoli made a nice replacement.

Made it with de-boned chicken thighs, recommend to lower the butter amount We added some pasta right into it at the end Really yummy!

I added potatoes to bulk it out but it was yummy!

We really enjoyed this! The lemon flavor was not overpowering at all and was a nice addition to the dish. The amount of butter seemed a little much, so when we have this again I will probably reduce it...maybe by ad much as half. The chicken ended up a little on the dryer side since it says to cook until brown, but that may have been my fault and will try cooking over a lower heat. I also didn't think the hot sauce was necessary and only put in about a third of a tablespoon, but I'm not a fan of hot sauce normally anyway. Overall, very good and will make again with some tweaks for our preferences.

Made this with all ingredients, only exception was the addition of extra garlic and some additional salt. The whole family loved this dish

Did without chili flakes or got sauce and used extra garlic and lemon juice. Gave it a wonderful tang.

Kids and I loved it! Added mozzarella cheese to asparagus!

The recipe itself was great. The way of explaining was honestly not the straight forward, and the fact that the ingredient list was so far from the steps was a hassle. Served well with some hard cheese, olives, and pasta.

Tried this twice. Once with the hot sauce and once without. I preferred it without the hot sauce, for me it confused the otherwise italian flavours. I couldn't get asparagus so I've used courgette instead (it's my favourite veggie) and it was great. Didn't require pre cooking. Put it straight in the pan when reducing the sauce to cook.

I didn't find the method easy to follow. Not easy for a beginner e.g terms like deglazing mean nothing to me but it turned out good and tasted really nice

Delicious! Used the air fryer to cook Asparagus faster.

Neither of the girls ate more than a few bites, I over seasoned it! Made it with rice.

This was good and the while family ate without complaining.

This was an amazingly flavorful dish! My family absolutely loved it! Will definitely be making this again!

I have never had all of my kids agree on a meal. The whole family liked it and got seconds. I served with smashed roasted potatoes. I did forget the hot sauce, and it was still very good.

Skip the hot sauce. It totally changes the flavour.

Love it

The instructions were bad but the outcome was okay. Will make it again.

It was good but could have used a little more salt and seasoning

This recipe was very good but it did take longer than 30 min to make. We also didn’t cook the chicken at medium-low, we kept the temperature around medium. Served with risotto on the side which worked very well.

Enjoyed it. I love spicy food and this was mild enough for the fam with Sriracha

One of our favorites. I add baby carrots instead of asparagus and just cook them with the chicken, then leave them in the whole time to get them to soften up. Then we serve with rice.

Delicious, but takes much longer to make than 30 min. Probably closer to an hour because of the asparagus

We made some new potatoes to go alongside this dish

Sooo good! I highly recommend making this dish. I wish I made more honestly haha

Added pan fried potatoes to go with it and some garlic bread. Was delicious 8.5/10

it was done really fast!

This (surprisingly, because I'm not a good cook) came out perfect! I didn't blanch the asparagus, though I did cook them a little longer with the pan covered. I also left out the red pepper flakes since I'm feeding little ones, and it was still so good!

It was great. I added butter when cooking the chicken.

It had good flavor. I'm not sure I love asparagus though. It may be worth a try with another veggie.

Amazing!!! Only thing I did different was to roast the asparagus in the oven. Then added it to the chicken and sauce!
