Lemon Chicken & Asparagus Stir Fry

I'm really loving asparagus these days and I'm always down for some Chinese food.  This stir fry is so yummy and the hint of lemon really makes the meal!  This is defiantly a lazy day kind of dinner.


What you need:

1 large chicken breast- cut into bite size pieces
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 Tbs soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbs water
2 Tbs canola/vegetable oil divided
1 bunch of asparagus
1 clove garlic- finely chopped
1-2 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbs lemon juice

- Season chicken with salt.
- In a frying pan, add a Tbs of oil and cook the chicken until done- set aside.
- In a large frying pan, heat the pan.  Add a Tbs of oil and then the asparagus.  Cook on high for 3-4 minutes until asparagus turns golden brown (should be more crispy than soft).  Add garlic and nutmeg.  Heat for another minute then add the chicken.  Turn heat to low.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, water, broth and lemon juice.  Add mixture to the chicken and asparagus.  Bring to a boil for 2 minutes.  Cover and simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
Serve over rice, add some pepper and enjoy!
