How to make it

  1. 1

    First, cut your chicken breasts into nice, bite-sized pieces. We want them to cook up quickly and evenly.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add your chicken pieces and cook them until they are beautifully browned and cooked all the way through, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Take the cooked chicken out of the skillet and set it aside for a moment.

  3. 3

    Now, add your trimmed asparagus spears to the same skillet. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes, just until they are tender-crisp and still have a lovely bite.

  4. 4

    Stir the cream cheese into the asparagus in the skillet. Let it melt and coat all those green spears, creating a lovely, creamy base. Then, gently add the cooked chicken and the halved cherry tomatoes back into the skillet.

  5. 5

    Give everything a good, gentle toss together for a minute or two, just enough to warm up those delicious tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the top right before you serve. Enjoy your amazing skillet meal!
