I used to put BBQ sauce on EVERYTHING until I looked at the label and realized just how much sugar and carbs it contained. You can imagine my thrill when I discovered a sugar-free BBQ sauce! Now with most “calorie-free” products, the taste is never EXACTLY the same as the regular stuff but this one was pretty good and the cinnamon I added to the sauce made it a 10! I also broiled the chicken in this recipe because I find that broiling instead of baking helps keep the chicken a little more moist and tender, but you can bake it if you wish.

Quick and Easy Asparagus & Chicken Stir-Fry

Quick and Easy Asparagus and Chicken Stir-Fry

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. honey
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
(optional) 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl or in a Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce and honey. Add chicken, and stir to coat. Set in the refrigerator until ready.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and sauté until cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside.

Remove chicken from marinade, and add to skillet. Sauté until nearly cooked through (with the insides still slightly pink), about 5 minutes. Then add garlic, scallions, and the reserved marinade to the pan. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve immediately with rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
