Cooking Tips
  • Butterfly the chicken breast evenly to prevent overcooking the thinner side.
  • Brown the chicken first, then add honey garlic sauce so it caramelizes gently.
  • Sauté the asparagus in leftover chicken glaze for maximum flavour.
Storage Tips
  • Store RichPea base and chicken separately if meal-prepping.
  • Keeps 3–4 days refrigerated.
  • Reheat chicken slowly to avoid tough texture (microwave 50% power).
  • Asparagus reheats best in a pan or air fryer, not microwave.
