Instructions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into medallion-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Prepare the asparagus by trimming the tough ends.

Step 3

Place the trimmed asparagus on the air fryer rack evenly, sure not to overcrowd them. Spray the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook the asparagus in the air fryer for about 6 minutes, or until tender. If the asparagus is thick, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add some olive oil.

Step 5

Place the seasoned chicken pieces in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Adjust the cooking time as needed based on the thickness of the chicken.

Step 6

Serve the cooked chicken and asparagus together on a plate and enjoy your meal!
