Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub chicken all over with oil, season with salt and pepper to taste and dried herbs. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a large skillet over medium heat, once melted stir in honey. Place chicken in the pan and brown 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add butter and garlic to the pan and stir over medium heat 1-2 minutes until browned and fragrant. Stir in broth and cream. Bring liquid to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper to taste (I used about 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of cracked black pepper) and juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon). Thinly slice remaining half of the lemon and set aside.
- Add chicken back to the pan, making sure to scoot it all to one side, and add asparagus to the other portion of the pan. Season asparagus with salt and pepper to taste and place lemon slices between the spears.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and asparagus is tender. Spoon cream sauce over the chicken and asparagus and serve.

Steps:
- Cover the chicken breasts with plastic wrap and pound until each pieces is about a 3/4 of an inch thick. (NOTE: If your chicken breasts are really thick,you can just cut them in half horizontally to make thinner pieces rather than pounding. Works like a charm.) Place the flour and salt and pepper in a shallow dish and gently toss each chicken breast in the dish to coat. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat; add the chicken and sauté for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown, sprinkling each side with the lemon pepper directly in the pan. When the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, transfer to a plate.
- Add the chopped asparagus to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until bright green and tender crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside. Lay the lemon slices flat on the bottom of the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side without stirring so that they caramelize and pick up the browned bits left in the pan from the chicken and butter. (NOTE: adding a tiny pat of butter in with the lemons also helps prevent sticking and promotes browning.) Remove the lemons from the pan and set aside.
- Layer all the ingredients back into the skillet - asparagus, chicken, and lemon slices on top.
