1
In a bowl, season the chicken with Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then set aside.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a cast iron or deep skillet over medium-high heat until melted and rippling.
3
Add half of the seasoned chicken to the skillet, allowing it to cook for 1 minute without moving to crisp up one side.
4
Stir the chicken and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to crisp all sides, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken, ensuring it gets crispy and not steamed.
6
Return the first batch of chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining ghee and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
7
Remove all chicken bites from the skillet and place them on the paper towel-lined plate.
8
Pour chicken broth into the skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon to deglaze and remove any browned bits.
9
Add the trimmed asparagus, and remaining salt and black pepper to the skillet. Drizzle with lemon juice and stir.
10
Cover the skillet with a lid and steam for 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
11
Remove the lid, return chicken to the skillet, and stir to combine.
12
Finish the dish with a final drizzle of lemon juice and sprinkle chopped parsley for garnish.
