Turmeric Black Pepper Chicken With Asparagus

This Turmeric Black Pepper Chicken with Asparagus is a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner made in one skillet in under 30 minutes! Tender pieces of chicken are coated in turmeric and lightly seared, then simmered with crisp asparagus in a savory-sweet honey soy glaze. I like to serve it over rice for a satisfying, protein-packed meal!
