I served this with rice but noodles would be really good too!
Orange Chicken & Asparagus
1T sesame oil
4oz chicken - sliced thinly
1 garlic clove - minced
1/4tsp crushed red pepper
2C chopped asparagus
1tsp soy sauce
1tsp honey
1tsp sesame seeds*
juice and zest of one orange
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken, garlic and crushed red peppers. Saute for about 7 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook 3-5 minutes more.
In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds and orange juice and zest. Pour into skillet, stir and cook for 2 minutes. Serve over rice.
*I searched high and low and could not find sesame seeds ANYWHERE in our area. I just added a couple of drops of sesame seed oil (COMPLETELY different from sesame oil). Sesame seed oil is VERY strong so if you use it, go light!

Are the quantities correct? 4oz of chicken looks like serve for one, but 2cups of asparagus seems too much for one...
Yep! If you slice it thin it goes a long ways! That being said - it's a forgiving recipe - add more chicken or less asparagus per your tastes!
What could i use if i don't have sesame seeds and the oil?
You could use just plain old olive oil if you wanted
