I saw this lemon chicken stir fry on Pinterest the other day and had to try it.  I was also super happy to find out that it is from one of my favorite food blogs Skinny Taste because that means it is decently healthy! Jordan and I have really been wanting to mix up our meals during the week, so this added the perfect little twist to our normal spaghetti and salmon filled week.  Enjoy!
Lemon Chicken Stir Fry with Asparagus
Serves 3-4



Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2 inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
Salt & pepper



Directions:
1. Cook asparagus and oil in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. When 1 minute remains, add garlic. Set asparagus and garlic aside.

2. Season chicken with salt & pepper. Increase heat to high and cook chicken until browned.

3. Set chicken aside and add soy sauce and chicken broth to skillet. Bring to boil for about 1 minute. And lemon juice, water, and corn starch and stir for about 1 minute.

Tried this out & loved it. Wondering if the sauce would be good with the soy sauce replaced with tariyaki or sweet & sour. Soy sauce isn't my favorite. Thoughts?

    Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Chrissy, a southern girl from North Carolina, recent college graduate, dental assistant, wife, mother, and a new lover of all things food. There was a time when I was just a "plain noodles" kind of girl, but since taking up cooking I have come leaps and bounds and I am continuously expanding my picky palate through experimentation in the kitchen. I am excited to share with you my favorite recipes that I discover on this food journey of mine.
