Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast sliced thin against the grain
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp avocado or canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted

Method
 

  1. Lightly coat sliced chicken with cornstarch for a silky surface and clinging sauce.
  2. Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, broth, and honey together in a small bowl.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high until shimmering. Add chicken in one layer; leave undisturbed 2 minutes, then stir. Cook until just opaque, about 4 minutes total; transfer to a plate.
  4. Add the asparagus to the hot pan and stir-fry 3 minutes until bright green and still snappy. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds.
  5. Return the chicken, pour in the sauce, and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens and glazes everything. Finish with the sesame seeds.
