Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into halves
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). 2. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the butter and the asparagus to the empty side. Sauté the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. 4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and asparagus. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze. 5. Garnish with red pepper flakes if you like a little kick, and serve immediately over rice or quinoa.
