Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt

  1. Cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes and season with paprika, half of the garlic parsley salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Cook the chicken until golden brown, then remove and set aside.

Notes

Asparagus Prep: I always bend a single stalk until it snaps to find the sweet spot where the woody end stops, then I use that as a guide for cutting the rest of the bunch
