Nutritional values

The potassium and aspartic acid contained in asparagus has a detoxifying effect on the body and can lower high blood pressure. The combination of folic acid, iron, and calcium is good for everyone, but especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Chicken has minerals such as nerve-strengthening magnesium and potassium for a healthy heart, not to mention abundant protein.

This dish keeps well, so why not make an extra portion and pack it for your lunch the next day!

Preparation steps

1.
Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry preparation step 1

Rinse the asparagus, pat dry, trim off the woody ends and cut diagonally into pieces (about 4 cm) (approximately 1 1/2 inches). Cut scallions into pieces (about 3 cm) (approximately 1 inch). 

2.
Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry preparation step 2

Rinse the bell pepper, halve, remove seeds and cut pepper into thin strips. Peel the garlic and squeeze in a garlic press into a bowl. Add the soy sauce and sugar and mix well until sugar has dissolved.  

3.
Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry preparation step 3

Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Cut into strips and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the chicken strips until golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove chicken from the wok and pour off oil.  

4.
Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry preparation step 4

Place the prepared vegetables in the wok and stir-fry over high heat until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly so that everything cooks evenly.
