Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chicken 6–7 minutes per side without moving until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F.
Step 4
Transfer chicken to a plate. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, then sear asparagus and tomato 3–4 minutes until charred.
Step 5
Arrange chicken and grilled vegetables on a plate. Top with pickled peppers and any pan juices.
