I’m all about the quick and easy meals if you can’t tell. This chicken and asparagus stir-fry is so simple and I usually serve it over quinoa instead of rice. This isn’t a ground-breaking recipe, but one that I turn to so often that I felt compelled to share it. There are tons of veggies you could throw in to make this even more filling. I also add a splash of soy sauce on top once it’s plated.
Chicken and Asparagus Stir-Fry
via gimme some oven
ingredients:
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
directions:
In a small bowl or in a ziplock bag, combine soy sauce and honey. Add chicken, and stir to coat. Set in the refrigerator until ready.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and saute until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Saute until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. Then add garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Saute for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
