.. but how did you cook the asparagus next to the chicken? =P
I cooked the asparagus on the grill drizzled with olive oil and lemon juice just after the chicken was done for about 5 minutes :)
I’ve used a similar recipe, but today I added cilantro. Love it!

Had these for dinner tonight (without the asparagus) Super quick and easy!
[...] Chicken with Lemon-Garlic Green Beans is replaced with Buttermilk Herb Chicken Breasts mainly because I don’t have any bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in the freezer, otherwise [...]
I’m new at the whole cooking thing so:
– if I’m freezing them, I freeze them uncooked and then cook them? Is
there a way to freeze them after cooking them instead? (I’m thinking of the toddler chicken bites from the May 2012 baby menu).
– approximately how long will these take to cook?
Thanks!
Yes you freeze them uncooked and thaw and then cook. You can freeze them after cooking if you’d like then just reheat. See directions for cooking time.
Can these be baked instead of grilled? I need a new grill & grill pan :(
Yes I’ve done them in the oven many times and they’re still delicious!
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this recipe tonight!
Quick question – Why do you say “So in this recipe you’d use 1/2 tablespoon with 1/2 cup milk” when the ingredient list calls for 1 cup of buttermilk.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any buttermilk on hand, so I wanted to double-check with you if I should use 1/2 or 1 cup of buttermilk substitute.
Thank you,

Yes you’d be right that’s an error, it’s 1 T lemon juice to 1 cup milk :)
Thanks Kelly!
Just wanted to make sure I didn’t mess anything up…. which I do quite frequently when it comes to recipes!
I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks again!
