Ingredients:
For Garlic Butter Chicken Bites: |
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
Sea salt, to taste |
Ground black pepper, to taste |
1/4 cup flour |
2 eggs |
1 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
For Lemon Asparagus: |
16 spears asparagus, ends trimmed |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |

1/2 tablespoon lemon zest |
Sea salt, to taste |
Ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:

- Pour the flour into a mixing bowl, beat the eggs in a second mixing bowl, and pour the panko breadcrumbs into a third mixing bowl.
