Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Add 1 T. olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat; cook asparagus for 2-3 minutes; remove from heat; transfer to a plate.
In wide, shallow bowl, combine flour, lemon pepper, onion powder and salt; dredge chicken through the flour mixture.
Melt 2 T. butter and heat 2 T. olive oil over medium-low heat; add the breaded chicken; cook until golden brown; remove chicken; place on ovenproof plate; place uncovered in warmed oven.
Add enough equal parts butter and olive oil to fat that's already in skillet to make 2 T. fat. Melt the fat over low heat; cook garlic just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in remaining flour mixture.* Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously. Slowly whisk in lemon juice, chicken stock/broth and honey.
Return chicken and asparagus to skillet; simmer for 2-3 minutes
Serve immediately.
4 servings.
*If there isn't enough flour mixture left, add enough flour and lemon pepper to make up the difference. Use a ratio of 2 parts flour to 1 part lemon pepper.
