Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thigh
- 1 tablespoon grape seed oil (or any high heat oil, such as avocado or canola oil )
- 1 ¼ pounds asparagus (the weight of an asparagus bundle can vary. If it's a bit higher or lower, that's fine. Trim off the stalky end, and cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together ¼ cup water with the honey, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set this aside
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, chili powder, and sprinkle with salt. Add the chicken and toss until coated
- Place a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When it’s heated, add the oil, then the chicken. Cook until the chicken is golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side
- Mix in the asparagus, and cook until it starts to become tender when pierced with a paring knife, 1 to 2 minutes
- Add the honey mixture and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepperÂ
