Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

Erin,

I love stir-fry. I feel like I don't make it enough. I love this recipe because it has very few ingredients and it's served with soy sauce. It's a great dish to throw together on a crazy weeknight.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch)
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
(optional) 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds (I just topped mine with a few pinches of sesame seeds)

Directions:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Saute until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. 

4. 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. 

5. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
