Chicken And Asparagus Stir Fry
Stir fry recipes are awesome because you can toss in as little or as many veggies as you want. We kept this stir fry fast and simple since I was really wanting asparagus.
Asparagus is one of those foods that are a pain to buy in the store. You need to clean and cut the asparagus and depending on the season, you might get woody asparagus. Nothing ruins a meal faster than that!
In steps Thrive Life asparagus! It's washed, chopped, and ready to go! It also comes in smaller spears which is something I personally love. With Thrive Life asparagus there's no more throwing away wilted or moldy spears. You've been there, right? I know I have and it's never a happy time. Thrive's asparagus is freeze dried fresh and lasts up to a year once the can is open.
I chose Thrive's seasoned chicken slices for this recipe. They are all white meat with a little salt added. This chicken is cooked, sliced and ready for you and there's no need to defrost frozen chicken. Just add to some water or toss in a recipe like I did to refresh (rehydrate).
