Ingredients:

• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 Tablespoons honey
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch)
• 3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions:

In a small bowl or in a ziplock bag, combine soy sauce and honey. Add chicken, and stir to coat. Set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and saute until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside.

Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Saute until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. Then add garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Saute for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic slightly fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
