This chicken and mushrooms with asparagus is a simple, yet delicious stir fry recipe. Perfect for hectic weeknights and low-carb diets!
n our family, we eat a lot of fruits and veggies. We love them and I have to restock every few days. But one thing that I have been trying to add, is more protein. This chicken dish came out of need for more protein. The flavors were right on, it’s light in calories, simple and quick to prepare. Tim, my hubby, loved it and asked me to be sure to pack leftover for his work lunch.
Veggies in this dish are versatile, so you can go ahead and adjust them to your liking.
I am using an OXO pot in this dish, it heats like magic and holds the heat really well. Love it, it just recently came out so you guys can be one of the first to purchase it.

Can I substitute lemon instead of lime? Thanks
Hi Michelle, yes for sure. It will have a slightly different flavor but it will work well in this recipe. Enjoy
Has anyone tired this with maybe the Nasoya Pasta Zero Shirataki noodles? I thought about adding it tonight with dinner.

Oh my goodness Lana. I think the buckwheat idea is so smart. You guys ate so healthy! That's is a large crowd to feed but must be so much fun to cook for them!
I absolutely loved this dish! It was very easy to make. I felt like buckwheat was the best side dish for it!
Oh I love your idea of buckwheat. I didn't think of that, that is why I love seen your photos. You are so awesome. 😉
