👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil.

Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain, and set aside.

Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Stir in chicken, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove chicken to paper towels.

Pour chicken broth into the skillet.

Then stir in asparagus, garlic, and a pinch more garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cover, and steam until the asparagus is just tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Return chicken to the skillet, and warm through.
