Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test. 1. **Step 1.** Dry chicken thighs, then season both sides with paprika and part of the salt and pepper. 2. **Step 2.** Melt two-thirds of the butter over medium. Add garlic, oregano, rosemary and thyme; stir briefly until fragrant without burning. 3. **Step 3.** Cook thighs skin side down 5–6 minutes, then turn for 5–7 minutes, until the thickest meat reads 165°F; lower heat if browning too fast. Set aside. 4. **Step 4.** Melt remaining butter, add asparagus and remaining salt and pepper, and sauté 4–6 minutes until tender. Add broth, coat asparagus and reduce 1 minute. 5. **Step 5.** Return thighs and warm a couple of minutes; finish with lemon and parsley. ## Attention timeline Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate. ## Flavor and capacity ## Nutrition per serving Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported.
