Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry
A quick chicken and asparagus stir-fry with crisp vegetables and a light, creamy sauce. Ready in about 20 minutes, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Breasts Sliced
- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 30 ml White Wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 Carrots Sliced
- 1 Bunch of Asparagus Sliced
- 4 Scallions Sliced
- 20 ml Wine
- 120 ml Chicken Broth
- 3 tablespoon Heavy Cream
- 4 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Parsley Chopped
Instructions
- Slice the chicken and mix it in a bowl with garlic, white wine, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. I let it rest for 10 minutes so the flavors soak in.
- Slice the carrots and scallions and cut the asparagus into pieces before cooking; this way, everything is ready to go.
- Whisk the chicken broth, cream, and cornstarch in a jar. It’s easier to pour later and keeps the sauce smooth.
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes, or until lightly golden. Add the carrots and asparagus, stirring to combine. Pour in the sauce, stir well, cover, and cook for 1 minute. Uncover, add the scallions and parsley, and cook for 1 more minute until the sauce thickens. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate Briefly: I like to give the chicken 10 minutes in the garlic, wine, and cornstarch so the flavor has time to sink in.
Prep the Veggies First: I always slice the carrots, scallions, and asparagus before I start cooking, so the skillet part goes smoothly.
Mix the Sauce Ahead: I whisk the broth, cream, and cornstarch in a jar because it pours easily and never gets lumpy.
Finish with Parsley: I like to stir in parsley at the very end, it makes the dish feel fresh and bright.
