Ginger Asparagus Chicken Stir Fry

Instructions

1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2. Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and chop vegetables.
3. Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
4. Add remaining oil and turn heat to medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning until all sides are browned, about 10 minutes. Add asparagus and cook, stirring, until asparagus is bright green.
5. Turn heat to medium-low and add onions and sauce. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and onions are warmed through.
6. Divide between 2 plates and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (optional). Serve with cooked brown rice or quinoa.

Ingredient Variations and Substitutions

• If you have other vegetables that you need to use up, such as carrots, mushrooms, or zucchini, add them.
• You can use lean beef, pork, or shrimp in place of chicken if you’d like. Use low sodium tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free.

Cooking and Serving Tips

• I like to buy the ginger paste in the produce section at the grocery store. It makes prep work so easy so that you can have dinner on the table that much faster.
• Prep everything before you start cooking for the easiest cooking experience.
• Serve with cooked brown rice or quinoa to round out the meal.
