This is a very simple stir-fry with LOTS of great flavors and insanely easy!
2 T soy sauce
2 T honey
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch)
1 T peanut oil
1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
2 t toasted sesame oil
1 t toasted sesame seeds
directions
In a small bowl or in a ziplock bag, combine the soy sauce and honey. Add the chicken, and stir to coat. Set in the refrigerator until ready.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, and sauté until cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, and add it to the skillet. (Keep the marinade.) Sauté the chicken until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic is fragrant. Add the asparagus back into the skillet/wok and stir to combine.
Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve immediately with brown rice.
