Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Incorporate the sliced chicken into the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. After the chicken is cooked, add the asparagus pieces and soy sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the stir-fry hot, and if desired, garnish with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

Pro Tips: Add more veggies like bell peppers or snap peas. Swap out chicken for tofu or shrimp for protein alternatives. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated easily. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
