1 lb raw chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb raw asparagus spears, chopped into pieces
2/3 cup mushrooms, cremini or portobello
1/3 cup red chilies (ancho chile), dried
4 cloves garlic
Sauce
2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon spicy mustard
juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
3/4 tablespoon cornstarch
The sauce is very good. Could serve on rice or noodles.
1 Add cornstarch to diced chicken breast and mix together, then set aside.
2 In a bowl add all the ingredients for the sauce
3 Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Toss in the chicken breast to sear and cook until the outside is no longer pink and edges are brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
4 To the same skillet, add garlic, asparagus and mushrooms. Cook until the outside edges are seared, about 3 to 5 minutes, and if you like some heat, toss in some dried red chilis. Continue cooking until the edges of the veggies are seared and crisp tender.
5 Add the chicken back to the skillet, mix together, then pour in the sauce. Stir the sauce when it begins to bubble so it doesn’t clump. Reduce sauce a little. Then shake the skillet to mix everything together.
6 Garnish and enjoy!
