Turmeric-Black Pepper Chicken with Asparagus, by Ali Slagle

This is a super – quick flavorful dish that makes an easy delicious one pot meal.

3 tbsp honey
3/4  tsp black pepper
kosher salt
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp ground tumeric
1 pound(ish) skinless chicken thighs (I’ve also made with boneless skinless breasts and it is just as good)
1 tbsp coconut or canola oil
1.5 bunches of asparagus trimmed and sliced in 1 inch slices at an angle
1 tsp soy

In a small bowl stir together 1/4 cup water with the honey, pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, turmeric, and 1tsp salt.  Add the chicken and toss until all pieces are well coated.

In a deep 10 inch non-stick skillet heat the oil over medium-high.  Add chicken and cook until golden brown 2-30 minutes per side.  Add the asparagus and stir to combine 1-2 minutes, salt to taste.

Add honey mixture and cook until sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add soy sauce.  Serve over rice.
