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.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 10 mins
Servings: 6
1 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pound fresh asparagus
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup sliced green onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon CROSSE & BLACKWELL Worcestershire Sauce
1 clove garlic, minced

Add remaining oil and stir-fry asparagus and onion until crisp-tender.
Add remaining ingredients except pasta and mix well. Toss with or serve over hot pasta.

Steps:

  • see above

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus is more tender and flavorful than frozen or canned asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips.
  • Blanch the asparagus before stir-frying: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crunch. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking. Make sure to preheat your wok or skillet over high heat before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the ingredients will not cook evenly. Stir-fry the ingredients in small batches, adding more as needed.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the stir-fry together. Use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the dish.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and chicken stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy. Serve the stir-fry over rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
