Steps:

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and dried basil. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until browned. Flip the chicken and cook for about 8 more minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside. Combine evaporated milk, flour, garlic paste, dried basil, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl; whisk until well combined. Add the prepared sauce to the hot skillet and bring to a boil. Stir in prepared asparagus, place the chicken back in the pan, and lower heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 4 minutes, or until asparagus is tender and chicken is heated through. Remove from heat. Garnish with parsley and serve.
