Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 orange, zest and juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

In a small bowl, mix together orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch to make the sauce

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

Add chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes

Remove chicken from skillet and set aside

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and stir-fry asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes
