Print Recipe

Juicy chicken and asparagus sautéed with lemon and garlic, finished with soy sauce and served over rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 mL olive oil
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 100 grams asparagus, trimmed
  • Zest of 0.5 lemon, plus extra for garnish
  • Juice of 0.5 lemon
  • 45 mL soy sauce
  • Steamed rice

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle sliced chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and stir-fry until the surface is no longer pink, approximately 4 minutes.
  3. Incorporate minced garlic into the pan and continue stir-frying until chicken is fully cooked, about 4 minutes more.
  4. Add asparagus, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the pan. Toss to combine and cook until asparagus is just tender, approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in soy sauce and stir well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Serve chicken and asparagus stir-fry over steamed rice. Garnish with additional lemon zest to taste.

Notes

For optimal texture, avoid overcooking the asparagus to preserve its crispness.
