Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups chopped asparagus
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 cup cooked brown rice

Steps:

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken, garlic, and red pepper flakes until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until bright green and starting to become tender, about 3 more minutes.
Whisk soy sauce, honey, orange juice, and orange zest together in a small bowl; pour over chicken. Cook and stir until sauce coats chicken and asparagus, about 1 more minute. Serve over cooked brown rice.
