Recipe Introduction


Pairing your choice of lean protein with vegetables that already happen to be in your crisper makes stir-fry an easy option for weeknight meals. We’ve loaded up this dish with an antioxidant-rich selection of veggies that includes onions, garlic and red peppers for a maximum immunity boost.





List of Ingredients



• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces (1 1/4 lb)
  
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  
• Olive oil cooking spray
  
• 1 lb fresh asparagus, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
  
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced into 1 1/2-inch pieces (1 cup)
  
• 4 green onions, chopped (2 tbsp)
  
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  
• 2 cups cooked brown rice
  






Instructions



1. In a bowl, season chicken with soy sauce and pepper flakes. Let stand for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
   
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and mist with cooking spray. Add chicken and soy sauce mixture and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Add asparagus, bell pepper, onions and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over brown rice.
