Herb Butter Chicken and Asparagus Foil Packs

By lou1john

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 4 boneless skinelss chicken breasts
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced, (plus additional wedges for garnish)
• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 3 teaspoons minced garlic
• fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Arrange one chicken breast and ¼ of the asparagus in the center of one 12x12 inch piece of foil. Repeat with remaining chicken and asparagus on 3 other pieces of foil. Slide lemon slices under the chicken and asparagus.
In a small bowl mix butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Drop large dollops of the herb butter on top of the chicken and asparagus.
Fold the foil tightly around the chicken and asparagus, being sure to seal the ends together tightly so the juices and butter doesn't run out while cooking. Grill over medium high heat for 6-8 minutes on each side, OR bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, until asparagus is tender and chicken is cooked through.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
