Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

What a tasty way to have asparagus!  And a quick meal to put together as well--another 10/10 recipe :)  Better than most Chinese takeout, that's for sure.  Will be making this one again for sure.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 T. vegetable oil
1 lb. boneless chicken thighs, but into bite-size pieces (**you could probably use a bit more than this and still be fine, as there was more than enough sauce with the 1 lb. that I used)
1 lb. asparagus, ends snapped/trimmed off, remaining part cut into 1 inch pieces
1/3 c. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 c. chicken broth
2 T. hoisin sauce
1 T. bottled minced garlic
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. sesame oil (**I used toasted sesame oil, as it was what I had on hand)
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
2 T. corn starch whisked together with 3 T. cold water
toasted sesame seeds to top/garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a wok (or large skillet) over medium-high heat (note to self: this is one mark past medium on my stove).

2. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for around 3-4 minutes.

3. Stir in asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, chicken broth, hoisin, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and ginger in a medium bowl.  Add mixture to wok once step 3 is complete.

5. Let mixture come to boil, then stir in the corn starch/water mixture.  Cook for 1 additional minute.

6. Serve with desired side and enjoy! (I served with boiled Basmati rice)
