Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 300 grams Asparagus
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 Red chili
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the red chili.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, and water to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 5–6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and chopped red chili, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken and asparagus evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the chili chicken with asparagus immediately. Pair with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
