Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cooking Time: 9 minutes
Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

3 chicken breasts chopped into cubes
2 TSP garlic powder
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 inch cube of ginger (minced)
5 TBSP honey
70 ml chicken stock
2 TBSP white wine vinegar
1 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP parsley leaves for garnish
4 sticks of asparagus
4 slices prosciutto
2 TBSP sesame oil
1 TBSP garlic & saffron infused oil (any oil is fine)
Salt & ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Mix the honey, stock, vinegar, garlic, ginger and soy sauce in a bowl and set aside.
Wrap each of your asparagus in one slice of prosciutto and set aside.
Heat a skillet with the sesame oil over a medium to high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden. This should take approx 5 minutes.
Drain most of the excess oil from the skillet, leaving a small amount.
Place your wrapped asparagus in a separate pan with your saffron & garlic oil and fry on a medium to high heat for 4 minutes turning regularly.
Back to the chicken now: Add the mix from 2nd step to the pan and coat the chicken thoroughly. Continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thicken slightly, this should take about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to let the sauce burn around the chicken, it will darken very quickly towards the end so it is important to keep and eye on it.
Garnish with parsley and serve with your asparagus and some rice.
