This 20 minute one pan garlic herb chicken and asparagus is full of rich, buttery herb flavors with both chicken and asparagus all cooked in one skillet for easy prep and cleanup.
One pan meals have become my go to on busy weeknights! Here are more of my favorites: One Pan Mediterranean Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, One Pan Baked Lemon Chicken and Artichokes, and One Pan Spanish Chicken and Rice.
One pan meals are LIFE.
Can I get an amen here??
A protein and a veggie side dish all made in a single skillet is my kind of dinner. This chicken and asparagus thing is buttery herbed goodness you need this week. All you need is about 20 minutes and you’re set my friends.
This recipe has been incredibly popular for a couple of reasons and I’ll spell them out for you:
- Easy cleanup. You just can’t go wrong with only having to clean up one single pan at the end of the meal, even after making essentially two dishes. Nobody likes to spend as much time on playing cleanup crew as they spent on preparation. This dish has your back!
- Flavor flavor flavor. The combination of a few simple herbs and seasonings, along with minced garlic and butter, is like a party in your mouth even the pickiest of eaters can’t refuse.
- 30 minutes. Yeah I said it, thirty minutes. This dish comes together so quickly you might find yourself wondering if you missed a step or two.
The process is really simple, but let me walk you through it real quick. In your favorite skillet, melt some butter, stir in garlic and herbs, then add the chicken. Brown on the first side, then flip and a keep cooking a little longer.
Next you wanna scooooooot all the chicken to the side and let it keep cooking while you cook your asparagus in the empty part of the pan with a tad more butter (don’t worry, this dish is still lightened up, there’s only 3 tablespoons butter in the whole thing). Cook that green asparagus til tender and your chicken is cooked through.
And that’s IT. Your whole dinner, ready to go, with a whole lot of flavor and hardly any work involved.
Enjoy!

One Pan Garlic Herb Chicken and Asparagus
This 20 minute one pan garlic herb chicken and asparagus is full of rich, buttery herb flavors with both chicken and asparagus all cooked in a single pan for easy prep and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 3-6 chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breasts (breasts pounded to even 1/2 inch thickness)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (see note)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan/skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic and herbs and cook another minute or so until the garlic is fragrant.
-
Reduce heat to medium, add chicken to pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook another 5-7 minutes. (Chicken should be nearly, but not completely cooked through by this point)
-
Scoot the chicken over the sides and add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the empty portion of the pan. Once the butter is melted, add asparagus. Season asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, rotating throughout, for 4-6 minutes until tender and chicken is completely cooked through.
-
Serve immediately garnished with freshly cracked black pepper and fresh herbs if desired.
Recipe Notes
In place of the dried basil, oregano, and thyme, you can use about 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning.
Angelina
Yum, but should the asparagus be (quickly) blanched before adding it into the skillet w/ the chicken? What size skillet did you use, which accommodated 1 lb. of asparagus and 5 chicken thighs?
This is an easy and quick main dish to make on a busy day. Since we love asparagus (and also chicken)…. I’m sure that I’ll be serving it pretty often with an easy side dish…. such as a tossed salad and Hawaiian dinner rolls. BTW, I like to sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice over my asparagus when it’s already on the serving platter. It seems to add a little ‘brightness’ to it.
Greg
I used a 11 inch stone ware pan and had plenty of room ….
Did turn out great and like you will be fixing it often .
Stanley Callahan
On the Asperigus, you do not need to blanch it. If the skillet is hot enough to saute it, it will be very tasty and cooked with just a little crunch left in the stalks which is fine
Emily
I made this for last night, and it was very good! I used green beans in place of the asparagus because it was what I had on hand, but that’s the only change I made, I will definitely be making this again!
Elaine Lee
So enjoy one pan dinners and I like this simple recipe. I would have added a baked potato also. Thank you for sharing. I just finished up the last of 4 pasta dishes with chicken/asparagus and grape tomatoes in Alfredo Roasted Garlic Sauce last night. A dish YOU might be interested in also.
Callie
How many green beans did you use?
Katherine
I love one pan recipes. It makes things so much easier. Thank you!
Angelia
I just made this and it was amazing!!
Lisa
Love it. Think maybe add just a dash of sirrach to spice it up a little.
Tiffany
I love that idea! Everything tastes better with a little heat!
Jennifer
You can always add the siracha once it’s plated, that way people can make it as hot or not as they want.
Gella
Delicious! I cooked the asparagus separately since it won’t fit in the pan.
Deb
You could try cutting the asparagus smaller!
Janice Ingram
Trying this weekend
Judy
Pinterest button not working. 😢
Anne
Yummy!!
Marland
Good
Genelle Smith-Peterson
Can you used green bean instead of asparagus
Tiffany
Yes! If you use fresh green beans, I would recommend steaming them first so they are at least half-way cooked because they tend to take longer to cook than asparagus. 🙂
Penny
I’d like to try adding a few capers. Excited to try this dish!!
Debbie
I am going to try this but use broccoli ..can’t wait! Looks yummy!
Tiffany
I used broccoli and threw in some angel hair pasta. Yummy!
Teresa
Is there anything you can use in place of all of that butter? That is a lot of fat for,the meal.
Tiffany
There’s only 3 tablespoons of butter, that’s not very much for four portions, but you could substitute another kind of oil like canola or vegetable, or even coconut oil if that’s something you prefer. 🙂
Cindy
butter flavored coconut oil works great as a substitute for all butter..and its healthy!!
Tina
When using Butter flavored coconut oil would you use the same amount as the recipe calls for?
Martha
I cannot have butter do you think I could make this with pam spray?
Tiffany
I would recommend vegetable or canola oil in place of the butter. 🙂
Elizabeth
What about olive oil?
Andreana
Crazy thing is that I used a little butter and then a touch of extra virgin olive oil.
Valarie
That’s what I did too! Delicious!
Maria
first time ever attempting a Receipe on my Own and it came iut delicious. I am on a health kick. Can i use olive Oil instead and how much oil wOuld I be UsinG? Thank you, im new to cooking
Tiffany
Fantastic job, Maria! I haven’t tried switching out for olive oil yet because it will definitely alter the flavor! But if you give it a try, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it went!
Sherry
You could always just use chicken broth, probably about a quarter of a cup in place of the butter if you can’t do butter.
Cynthia Gedz
With any chicken thighs I’ve gotten and used there is always a HUGE amount of fat I have to cut out, and it’s in the crevices. It takes a goodly amount of time to clean them up. I never use chicken thighs for a “quick” meal because of this, unfortunately!Any ideas on this?
Tiffany
You can actually skip the chicken thighs and use chicken tenderloins instead! Generally littler to no cleaning needed and they cook quickly. 🙂
Dave
It would definitely be easier, but I think that tenders are going to cook at LOT faster than the asparagus… so, you’ll have to adjust accordingly..
Christine
I found this recipe today and made it. It was very delicious…even my picky hubby licked his plate. Served it with a rainbow salad and low calorie dressing. Great healthy dinner. Added to our weekly rotation. Thank you!!!
Linda
What is “a rainbow salad?”
Twyla
Okay this wil definitely be made again in the Davis household! Satisfies even the pickiest of eaters including my gluten-free husband! I only wish I could include a picture as it turned out just as beautiful as the ones that say here! Chicken was so tender
Bernadette Glover
I am going to use this only cook in Air fryer
Tara
Does anyone know of this is Whole 30 approved? It looks delicious!
Jwin
If you use ghee vs butter it would be whole30 Approved
Cindy Renshaw
As long as you use ghee or clarified butter it would be whole 30 approved.
Chrissy
I don’t think the butter is whole 30 approved., Use ghee instead. Other than that it looks like it.
Pam Smith
Made this for supper. It was so easy and delicious. My husband really liked it. Know I’ll be making it again
JenniferF
This was so good! Saw the video on FB today and decided to make it for dinner. The only changes were using green beans instead and since they were frozen, I made them in a separate pan and began prepared the same as the chicken. Delicious and a keeper!
Linda Costa
I made this for dinner tonight and it was very tasty. I used bone-in thighs and it took 20 minutes longer, next time boneless!
John Bayler
Made it tonight for my son and I. We both liked it, but it’s missing something. Next time I’ll play around with the ingredients.
Debby
It was delicious and easy just as promised! My asparagus was thin so no need to parboil. Will definitely make again. Might try a little lemon juice next time or a few capers, but actually not needed
Shai
This was amazing! We just had it for dinner…
Nothing left!
I did not have onion powder. Did not substitute it.
No fresh herbs. Used mixed dried garden herbs.
In a word: A-May-Zing!
I made an extra German cucumber salad to complete the meal.
5 stars for 1-pan simplicity!
Jennifer
I do not use onion powder, need to watch my sodium and prefer fresh onion. When I make this will use fresh onion.
DOnna
There is a difference between onion powder and onionsalt.
Brian
The recipe calls for onion powder, not onion
Marie
Really good. I used fresh herbs, since I have them growing outside, and a LOT more garlic. Served it with quinoa with some craisins and some chutney mixed in. Yummy!
I’d love to print the recipe, but the print option doesn’t seem to be working, just shows a blank page.
Ann Herre
Try copying and pasting recipe in word processor. Save and have on the computer or print of for your own recipe book. Have done several this way. Also can put into the cloud for easy acess when traveling to second home
Pat Troutman
I just made this for dinner tonight and am substituting green beans for the asparagus later…so easy and smells wonderful. I made it early so that the chicken can be kept on low and be tender.
Samantha
Just made this and it was delicious!!! So easy and tasty. Always on the look out for something simple, healthy, and flavorful. Will definitely make again! 🙂
Tiffany
Hi Samantha! So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for the feedback!
stacey
Next time I will steam the asparagus a little and then add them to the pan for finishing at the end. I used a big skillet but there just wasn’t enough room – the asparagus took too long to cook and wasn’t quite done enough. That being said, my BF – who loves chicken thighs – said this was one of the best things I’ve ever made. I will be making this often, and it would be a good dish to make for company.
This probably goes without saying unless you’re a dumbass like me: have the garlic and dry ingredients premeasured out and ready to stir in at once … I added in the garlic and starting measuring out the herbs one by one, and that did not work out too well, although I somehow managed to recover without overdoing the garlic.
Angel Swanson
i stacked the thighs on one side, so there would be room – and i added a lid so it would help steam the asparagus and chicken – so good and worked perfectly. i’ve made it twice this way and both kids devour it. i think cooking the veggies seperate will change the flavor and i love it too much to change it
MamaN
Making this tonight and yay for butter! This makes a great Keto friendly meal. I’m also adding mushrooms because they are on hand. I have pencil thin asparagus — can not wait! Thanks for the dish!
Karen Argence
I made this last night and my husband and I loved it! Very easy and delicious!
Anne
I’ve made this twice now. Today was farm market fresh asparagus & shitake mushrooms. Sauteed the mushrooms a little. Added to pan when I added the asparagus. Covered & it basically steamed the asparagus until semi crispy. Made real wild rice to serve with. So yummy!!
Rhi
I have no onion powder, have seen someone else didn’t and didn’t substitute so I’ll just do that. If I’m only doing 2 breasts – would I half all the butter and herbs and garlic?
Tiffany
Hi! You don’t have to half any of the ingredients for only doing 2 chicken breasts. 🙂
Angela
Can this recipe be made in the oven instead of stovetop?
Janet
I made this last night. Needless to say there were no leftovers! I would say though you should transfer to plate as soon as done. I left it in the pan while I served the kids and the asparagus got soft and soggy. anyway it was still delicious. I do have a question.. Can you make this with pork chops too? Thank you
Tiffany
Hi Janet! I’ve never made this recipe with pork chops, but I bet it would be delicious!
Belen Estrada
Will try this easy recipe for dinner tonight. Looks delish! Will add mushrooms for sure.
Natalie
I would love to try this tonight! Looks Delish! But, does anyone know the nutritional value of this meal? Calories, Protein, Carbs, Sodium, Etc.

Sherry Pagnier
Made this tonight and it was easy to do and so good! We will be adding this to dishes we cook often. I will be looking at your other recipes!
Beverly
Delicious!!! I added colorful baby potatoes along with the asparagus. My husband really likes this! He’s always asking for something different for dinner that is flavorful!! Can’t wait to make this again for a get together dinner with our friends.
Jennifer
Just made this meal for dinner and it was a hit! Super delicious and full of flavor. I stayed true to the recipe and it was extremely simple. Thank you.
Lindsey
I tried this tonight and it was delicious! It was quick, easy, and yummy. This was my first time cooking asparagus ever and I got many compliements. Thank you!!
Crystle
I made this and it was great! I wanted to make egg noodles with it but I’m just not sure how I would do the sauce. I thought maybe the butter and the dry herbs that was used for the chicken and asparagus.. I don’t know please help:(
Nora Homich
Made this exactly per recipe and thought it was wonderful!!! I would like to make it again, but with chicken breasts (for 3 people). In terms of weight, how many lbs of skinless / boneless breasts would be comparable to the 6 thighs.
Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe.
Linda
I added fresh lemon juice to it yummy
Rebecca Carner
Amazing. Even my picky 2 year old and husband enjoyed this. I can’t do onion powder so I added fresh onion in with the garlic. So delicious!
Jeri
Delish! So yummy. It was very quick and easy. I put on some jasmine rice at the same time and it was ready together. Brilliant! ?
Linda
Oh my goodness. This recipe was so easy, so fresh, and so delicious. I loved how quickly the asparagus cooked and, I too, did add a little lemon juice. Thank you so much for another recipe that I will be cooking often.
Donna
Great recipe! Made this tonight except substituted Green beans. Great flavor. My only question, it seems in the video you drizzled some of the juices over the chicken. I did not have any left over – did you make a sauce? Thanks for the recipe!
Claire
Hi! I live alone and work crazy hours and sometimes don’t get home till very late. Would this keep good for a few days in the fridge? I enjoy having 2-3 different meals already cooked and ready to pop in a microwave. That way I have something healthy to grab for lunch before work or dinner when I come home.
Brenda Morison
Was delish!!! Would great if you had nutritional info!
Audrey
One pan herb chicken
Matt
Cooked this the other night for my Girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. Super easy and delicious.
Cristafer Neal
Made this recipe for dinner tonite and my son loves any food cooked with herbs. He ate the whole piece and everyone loved it. I did blanch the asparagus and then fried it. I used my roll to clean my plate by far the best chicken I have ever made.
Paulette
This was not only delicious but quick. I served it with garlic butter potatoes. I will definitely make this again. Love all her recipes i have tried.
Kristen
DELICIOUS! I used Chicken breasts and added 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes but other than that i made no changes. So easy and we all loved it. Thank you for sharing
Mark
This turned out amazingly. I added some nice mashed potatoes with it and the buttery chicken complimented it perfectly. Thank you for the fantastic recipe!
sabrina

Christine Pratt
this was Quick, easy and DELICIOUS!
Mary Elizabeth
The picture looks like it’s bone-in thighs. Is this the case? Or are they boneless? I picked up a pkg of boneless thighs and they look HUGE!! Thanks!
Tiffany
Hi Mary Elizabeth – I used boneless thighs in the recipe and they turned out great! You could easily sub for a pretty much any other cut of chicken tho.
Jody

it was a hit!! And I was told I can make it again and again..and was instructed I need to use skin-on thighs! I seasoned with s&p, italian seasoning and lots of garlic (preference).it was great being able to cook it in one skillet! I made garlic toast along with it and we were able to soak up some of the drippings left on the plate.Wonderful recipe!
Tiffany
You had me salivating at garlic toast dipped in the extra drippings!

Jessica
I never know when The chicken is done. 😤😤☹☹
Emily
I recommend investing in a digital meat thermometer. They’re relatively inexpensive and take the guesswork out if the chicken being done. (I used to always end up with a bunch if cut pieces of chicken, so I know what you mean about not knowing!)
This recipe is great! I don’t normally eat asparagus, but I cooked it for someone who loves it, and I really enjoyed everything about this. Made it with a side of garlic/parmesan mashed potatoes.

This Dish is Amazing!
I HAVE MADE THIS DISH SEVERAL TIMES. each TIME IT COMES OUT WONDERFUL. tHE FLAVORS ARE SO DELICIOUS TOGETHER.
Diana
Wow! I had two ingredients in the fridge—chicken and asparagus. After a long week, I just wanted to prepare something simple for my boyfriend and me so he wouldn’t suggest going out to eat. So, I googled those two ingredients and this delicious recipe pops up.
A couple of adjustments I made: I cook chicken every week, so I substituted ghee for butter to cook at a higher temperature without burning or losing flavor. I also used all dry seasonings and went easy on the salt for my palette. I sliced the asparagus down the center, lengthwise; they were huge! They cooked thoroughly and got coated in yummy ghee. Plus, they looked really pretty. If you have thin asparagus, keeping them whole is best.
I should have taken a picture, the dish turned out beautiful! Thank you for this great recipe! I’m definitely going to keep it in my mental recipe book 🙂
Tiffany
Great idea to slice your thick asparagus! Thanks for sharing! So happy that you loved it!

Tamarrah
Can you make this use canned asparagus in THIS and garlic powder instead of minced garlic?
Tiffany
Hi Tamarrah- Yes, you can use those if that is what you have on hand! I do highly recommend fresh asparagus and minced garlic though. I hope that you love it with those adjustments! Definitely let me know! 🙂
debbie
thanks tiffany! My son and grandson loved it, so it will go in our regular rotation for dinner. I too used green beans because that’s what I had. I did add a little bit of chicken broth at the end. served it over egg noodles with a salad on the side.
Tiffany
Way to go with the substitutions and using what you had on hand, Debbie! Nice job! Glad that they turned out well and that all three of you loved it! 🙂

Just let me know how we can accomplish this task. Let me go find hope for this life
Gina Frechette
Can this recIpe be Prepared in the oven and if so how?
Tiffany
Sure! Bake it at 375 for 15-20 minutes for just the chicken, then add the asparagus and cook another 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and asparagus is tender. I would cover for the first part of cooking the chicken then uncover it when you add the asparagus! I hope you love it!
Martha
Made this tonight. It is as good as it looks and super easy! I am going to make it again soon! I added s sprinkle of parmesan chhese at the END.

Christa Durkin
Instead of onion powder, I added 1/4 chopped onion. I also added fresh rosemary, Cilantro, white wine and 1 fresh lemon. It was very simple, yet delicious
Tiffany
Thanks for your input, Christa! Excited to hear that you enjoyed this recipe! It is a definite favorite here in our house!

There’s some humor which works, I guess many Eastwood movies have humor. In case anyone is curious about language, there isn’t a lot like Gran Torino. Cursing doesn’t bother me.

Norm Evans

Tiffany
Any of the dried herbs it calls for would be fantastic fresh on top as a garnish! This recipe is so versatile that you could really use any fresh herb that you prefer!
Norm Evans

Beth
So good, great flavor, i used green beans because i could’t find any asparagus, i did steam them for a few minutes fiRst. The chicken was so tender, i’d DefinateLy make this again!
Tiffany
Great job, Beth! We occasionally do this recipe with green beans as well! Super excited to hear that you enjoyed this recipe!
Chris
I can’t believe how great this tastes compared to the effort and only One pan to clean. It’s a weeknight Savior for sure! Bonus is i almost always have everything needed to make it besides the asparagus.
Chris
I can’t believe how great this tastes compared to the effort…plus only One pan to clean. It’s a weeknight Savior for sure! Bonus is i almost always have everything needed to make it besides the asparagus. I Only cook the chicken about 4min each side then add the asparagus so they are a bit softer.
Tiffany
I am super excited to hear that you loved this dish so much, Chris! I, too, usually have the ingredients on hand for this except for the asparagus… but often times have green beans on hand and use those instead!
Mel
Yummo!!! This is so tasty, its one i will DEFINITELY cook weekly! Thanks
Tiffany
Super excited to hear that you loved this recipe so much, Mel! It is one of my absolute favorite, quick weeknight dinner recipes!
Cam
This was SEriously one of the best meals I’ve had and it had Simple prep and ingredients. I followed the recipe, REmoved the CHIcken and veg, and then deglazed THe pan with white cooking wine and MIXed it with some heavy cream i had in the fridge. The meal had enough flavor without my sauce but it made the Rice to Die for. Restaurant quality meal at home for cheap. Thank you!
Tiffany
Sounds like you did a fantastic job, Cam! Thanks for your input! Excited to hear that you enjoyed this recipe so much 🙂
Mathew
Horrible. DIRECTIONS ARE EXTREMEMLY WRONG. YOU DO NOT ADD GARLIC FIRST OR HERBS. YOU COOK THAT AFTER CHICKEN IS NEAR COOKED, YOU NEED TO BLANCH YOUR ASPARAGUS. IF YOU FOLLOW THIS RECIPE YOU WILL BURN YOUR INGREDENTS AND HAVE A VERY UNPLEASANT DINNER.
Kathy multerer
Delicious!!
Mariah
I just moved out on my own and This dish introduced me to cooking. It’s so easy to Prep, cook, and clean — but Taste like a million bucks. This is my go-to dish to impress (guest or myself).
Tiffany
Way to go getting out on your own, Mariah! I am super excited to hear that you enjoy both cooking AND eating this recipe! 😉 Thanks for your feedback!
Sandy
I made exactly as recipe stated. It was delicious! I will definitely make this again.

Melissa Danks
Great recipe idea amd i love all of the subsitution ideas. I did as Presented except neXt time will add the garlic towards the emd so it doesnt burn (Milk street kitchen method) aNd aDd a little wine to help steam the veg. I added zuccini noodles as a side.

Def add garlic later, a splash of lemon and maybe over rice:) looks delish!
Wes
2 minutes in the microwave is good.
Nova @ The High Strung
Looking to make this for tomorrow nights dinner. Trying to do low carb, so out of curiosity do you know what the carb count would be if I skipped the potatoes? I think my math shows about 8-10g but wasn’t sure if you knew? If not I still plan to make it, shouldn’t be too high. Thanks!
Tiffany
Hi Nova-I don’t know off the top of my head. You could try using MyFitnessPal tho.. they have a great tool where you can input a recipe URL into and it will calculate all of that for you… that way you can see what you need to do with the carb count!
VERNIE JORDAN

Eleanor Ann Sorensen
Great dinner! I wish. I could share picture, chicken came out a pretty golden brown, asparagus wasn’t hard or Chewie, the flavor PERMITRATED the asparagus AND THE ASPARAGUS WASNT greasy.
Simple and quick to Make and it’s a crowd pleaser. Picky eaters in my house didn’t hesitate eating it the second it was put on the table for VAN Y
Tiffany
Fantastic job, Eleanor! Way to please all the eaters at once!! 😉 Sometimes that is quite the task!
