Ingredients

For the Honey Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Chicken:

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

For the Asparagus:

  • 12 ounces asparagus, trimmed and sliced on an angle into 1/2-inch pieces

For Serving:

  • cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Sauce: In a small bowl, combine water, honey, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Stir until honey dissolves. Set aside.
  2. Coat the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix flour, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon salt. Toss chicken pieces in the mixture until coated.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Add Asparagus: Add asparagus and cook until tender yet crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Finish the Dish: Pour in the honey sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve the dish over cooked rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey sauce.
  • Feel free to customize by adding your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli.
