Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan.
  • Heat your pan over high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and vegetables and create a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Keep stirring: This will help to prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the sauce last: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This chicken and asparagus lemon stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The bright flavors of the lemon and asparagus pair perfectly with the tender chicken and savory stir-fry sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
