Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Melt 2 T. butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; stir in garlic and herbs; cook another minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
Reduce heat to medium; add chicken to skillet; cook 5-7 minutes; flip; cook another 5-7 minutes. Chicken will be nearly, but not completely cooked through by this point.
Push chicken over to the sides; add remaining 1 T. butter to the middle of the skillet. Once the butter is melted, add asparagus; season asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, rotating throughout, for 4-6 minutes until tender and chicken is completely cooked through.
Serve immediately garnished with freshly ground black pepper and fresh herbs, if desired.
4 servings.
*If using chicken tenderloins, cooking time will be shorter.
