- Mix flour, salt, garlic powder, pepper and 2 teaspoons of basil in shallow dish. Moisten chicken lightly with water. Coat evenly with flour mixture. Discard any remaining flour mixture.

- Stir stock, lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon of basil into skillet. Bring to boil, stirring to release browned bits in bottom of skillet. Add asparagus. Stirring frequently, cook 5 to 7 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet and add tomatoes; cook until heated through. Sprinkle with additional basil, if desired.
