Ingredients

4 chicken thighs
1 pound asparagus trimmed and washed
1/2 red bell pepper seeds removed and sliced
2 tablespoons garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels the chicken thighs. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken on both sides, starting skin side down, for 3-4 minutes per side.
3. With the chicken skin side up, scootch it out of the way and add the garlic. Sautee the garlic for a minute more or until it is aromatic.
4. Add the asparagus and red bell pepper, and pop the skillet into a pre-heated 375-F oven for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-F.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Card Tips

Brown the chicken skin-side down first, then push it aside to sautee the garlic in the same pan.
Add the red bell pepper after the asparagus, since it needs less time to cook through.
Use a meat thermometer to confirm doneness rather than guessing, especially with bone-in thighs.
