For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet after cooking the garlic and asparagus, allowing it to reduce slightly before adding the chicken back in. If you don't have fresh asparagus on hand, frozen asparagus spears, thawed and patted dry, can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. For a milder dish, use 1/2 teaspoon or omit them altogether. Consider adding lemon zest to the dish for an additional layer of flavor. Serve with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
