This delectable recipe combines the tender succulence of chicken, the crisp-tenderness of asparagus, and the rich, nutty flavor of melted Gruyère cheese. It's a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will tantalize your palate and leave you craving more.
The culinary journey begins with searing chicken breasts to perfection, creating a golden-brown exterior that locks in their natural juices. While the chicken basks in its savory glory, crisp and vibrant asparagus spears are sautéed until they reach a tender-crisp perfection.

For a touch of tang and zest, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of lemon zest. And if you crave a bit of spice, a dash of cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes will ignite your taste buds.
Whether you follow the classic recipe or explore the creative variations, Chicken Asparagus with Melted Gruyère promises an unforgettable culinary experience. So gather your ingredients, prepare your taste buds, and embark on a flavor-filled adventure.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, water, cornstarch, oil, and oyster sauce. Mix until the liquid has been absorbed by the chicken. Set aside to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the water (or chicken stock), cornstarch, white pepper, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
- Heat your wok over high heat until it just starts to smoke, and add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat. Spread the chicken evenly in one layer, and allow it to sear undisturbed for 30 seconds. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds, or until about 75% cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok, along with the minced garlic. Cook for 15 seconds, and add the asparagus. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the Shaoxing wine and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
- Meanwhile, mix your sauce mixture to ensure the cornstarch is fully incorporated. Add it to the wok, and bring to a simmer.
- Add the chicken back to the wok, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. The sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon, and the asparagus should be crisp-tender.
- Taste for seasoning and add additional salt to taste if needed. Serve over rice.

SAVORY WAFFLES WITH ASPARAGUS, GRUYERE AND ONION
I took one of our family's favorite puff pastry recipes, which uses a similar mix of ingredients, and translated it to savory waffles. It's a change of pace from sweeter fare. Served with a ham steak and fried eggs, it makes a fabulous meal. Feel free to add maple syrup or a spicy glaze. -Leslie Ponce, Miami, Florida

Steps:
- If you see or feel dirt in the leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add leeks in a single layer; season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook, turning once, until leeks are lightly golden, 16-18 minutes. Transfer leeks to a plate; reserve skillet.

Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a 5-7-qt. Dutch oven or large wide saucepan over medium-high. Cook thighs, skin side down, until well-browned, 12-14 minutes. Transfer skin side up to a plate. Pour off and discard fat.
- Add wine to pot, bring to a simmer, and cook, scraping up bits from bottom of pot, 1 minute. Add broth and return chicken skin side up to pot. Lower heat to medium-low, cover pot, and cook until chicken is cooked through, 15-18 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine asparagus, peas, and 2 Tbsp. water in reserved skillet, cover, and cook over medium heat until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 tsp. lemon zest, remaining 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper; stir gently to just combine.

Tips:
- Select Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest chicken and asparagus possible for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is cooked through without being dry.
- Use High-Quality Gruyère Cheese: Opt for a good quality Gruyère cheese for the best flavor and melting properties.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the chicken and asparagus liberally to enhance their flavors.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help distribute heat evenly, preventing the chicken and asparagus from burning.
- Garnish Before Serving: Sprinkle some chopped parsley or chives over the dish before serving for an extra touch of color and flavor.
