Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into strips, season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Add half the chicken strips to the skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes until golden. Remove and repeat with remaining chicken.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, then chopped onions and mushrooms. Stir for 2-3 minutes, then add minced garlic for 1 additional minute.
  4. Add Asparagus: Introduce asparagus to the skillet, mix with veggies and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  5. Create the Sauce: Pour in sherry or stock, scrape brown bits from the skillet, bring to a boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  6. Combine Everything: Return chicken and veggies to skillet, stir to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add Final Touches: Stir in butter until melted, adjust seasoning, and serve.
