Boring, bland chicken and vegetables should not be the first thing you think of when you are trying to eat healthily. Take them and put in a hefty dose of flavor to get a dinner that is certainly both useful to you and quick to generate. All it takes is several ingredients as well as a big skillet.

Ginger and garlic are a pair of my favorite spices for adding flavor to your dish. Skip the powder and opt for the fresh versions—it constitutes a huge difference! Plus, the mixture of lean chicken, asparagus, and brown rice provides protein and fiber to maintain you full and satisfied all night. Just a touch of low sodium soy sauce adds a pleasant savory flavor without an excessive amount of sodium, in order to keep your blood pressure levels in check.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 8 to 10-ounce boneless skinless chicken

1/2 medium onion, sliced

For garnish: Chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Preparation

Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and chop vegetables.

Heat half the olive oil in the large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.

Add remaining oil and turn heat to medium-high. Add chicken and cook, turning until the sides are browned, about 10 mins. Add asparagus and cook, stirring, until asparagus is bright green.

Turn heat to medium-low and add onions and sauce. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened and onions are warmed through.

Divide between 2 plates and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds (optional). Serve with cooked brown rice or quinoa.

Ingredient Variations and Substitutions

If you could have other vegetables you'll want to use up, for instance carrots, mushrooms, or zucchini, add them.

You can make use of lean beef, pork, or shrimp instead of chicken if you need. Use low sodium tamari rather than soy sauce for gluten-free

Cooking and Serving Tips

I prefer to buy the ginger paste within the produce section for the grocery store. It makes prep work simple so that you can have dinner available that much faster.

Prep everything before you begin cooking for that easiest cooking experience.

Serve with cooked brown rice or quinoa to round out the meal.
