Chicken and Asparagus Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken breast, diced
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger (peeled)
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup toasted cashews
a few handfuls chopped kale or spinach
zest and juice of one lime
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 small handful fresh mint, slivered
1 small handful fresh basil, slivered


Directions:

Have all your ingredients prepped and within arms reach of the stove. Heat cooking spray in a large pan. When it is hot, add the chicken, and cook until done. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Add more spray to the pan and, as soon as it is hot, add the onions, ginger, red pepper flakes, and asparagus. Stir-fry for about a minute, then add the garlic, cashews, and greens and stir-fry for another minute, or until the greens wilt. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the lime zest and juice and the hoisin sauce. Cook for another 10-20 seconds, stirring all the while.

Remove from heat and stir in the mint and basil. Taste and add salt if needed.
