Orange Chicken with Asparagus

Recipe from www.fitnessmagazine.com

I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was surprisingly tasty. Sometimes I'm sceptical of recipes that are so simple, but I quite enjoyed it and it was quick and easy to make.

What you'll need
1 tbsp Sesame oil
4 oz. Chicken, sliced into 1/2 inch strips (I used chicken thighs)
2 Garlic cloves, minced (original recipe called for one garlic clove...obviously two is better!)
1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 bunch Asparagus, chopped
1 tsp Soy sauce
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Sesame seeds
Juice and zest of 1 orange

How to
1.  Heat sesame oil in large skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken, garlic and red pepper flakes for 7 minutes.

2.  Add asparagus and cook for 3 minutes more.

3.  In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and add to skillet; cook 1 minute. Serve with brown rice (or quinoa).
