Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 4 tablespoons flour, divided
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock (or broth)

  • 1 teaspoon ginger blend paste
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 (5 oz) packages shiitake (or gourmet blend) mushrooms

Steps

    1. Cut asparagus into ½-inch pieces, removing tough root ends. Chop garlic. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; place in medium bowl (wash hands).
    2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over chicken and toss until evenly coated. Whisk in second bowl: remaining 2 tablespoons flour, stock, honey, soy sauce, ginger paste, red pepper, and garlic until blended.
    3. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add chicken; cook and stir 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove chicken from pan. Place asparagus, mushrooms, and green onions in same pan; cook and stir 3–4 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
