Healthy Chicken Stir Fry with Asparagus
One pan Healthy Chicken Stir Fry with Asparagus is loaded with protein and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 2 cups asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces)
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- ½ tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ -¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- To make the stir fry sauce, whisk together coconut aminos, honey, fresh orange juice, ½ tbsp sesame oil (the remaining amount will be for cooking the chicken), garlic powder, ginger powder, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds in a small bowl until well combined.
- Heat a pan on medium with the remaining ½ tbsp sesame oil. Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 4 minutes per side or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (Note: Don’t overcrowd your pan. The chicken should be cooked in one single layer. If the pieces of chicken are on top of each other, they will not become golden, but steam instead.) Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add asparagus to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Pour ¼ cup water into the pan, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Add chicken back in and pour the sauce over the chicken and asparagus. Sauté for 1-2 minutes more and enjoy!
