Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3/4 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody stems trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: Brown or white rice

Steps:

  • Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips. Toss the strips with about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the sherry in a bowl. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the same skillet until very hot, then add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a full boil to thicken. Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates; serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling when you're cooking.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your dish. Choose fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than stir-fry.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the chicken and vegetables. If your pan is not hot enough, the ingredients will stick and will not cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of food, you may need to stir-fry in batches. This will help to prevent the pan from getting overcrowded and will ensure that the ingredients cook evenly.
  • Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a bit of brightness.

Conclusion:

Asparagus chicken stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give asparagus chicken stir-fry a try.
