Unavailable totals are not estimated. Known allergens for these plates: milk, soy, wheat. Check product labels and cross-contact. ## First-cook checks and limits - The publisher lists 767 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported. - Honey is retained as written; omit it only for the source’s optional keto variation, which changes nutrition. - Source method adds an unquantified extra butter dollop for asparagus. This adaptation uses residual butter and some measured sauce to retain the listed total rather than invent an extra amount. - Ingredient quantities are scaled from 2 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks. - Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested. - The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total. - Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness. ## Leftovers Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate. ## Sources - [Christina Cherrier: One-Pan Lemon Butter Chicken with Asparagus](https://www.eatwell101.com/lemon-butter-chicken-with-asparagus) - [FoodSafety.gov: safe minimum internal temperatures](https://www.foodsafety.gov/food-safety-charts/safe-minimum-internal-temperatures) These recipes include household adaptations and recipes adapted from the linked publishers.
