Add chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink and cooked. Remove chicken from the skillet and reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add garlic and saut\u00e9, constantly stirring, until fragrant. Then, add mushrooms and asparagus and cook until slightly tender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Return the chicken to the pan, stir in the reserved coconut aminos mixture; toss to heat through. Bring to a full boil to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seed, if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes, white rice, quinoa, or vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coconut aminos is a sauce that resembles a light soy sauce or tamari. It’s made from a blend of aged coconut sap and sea salt. The delicious sauce has a rich, savory flavor with a touch of sweetness. It’s naturally gluten-free and vegan.<\/p> <\/div> Almost any recipe that calls for soy sauce can be made with coconut aminos instead.<\/p> <\/div> You can buy coconut aminos in stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, or online on\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0or Thrive Market.<\/p> <\/div> Use low sodium soy sauce to substitute coconut aminos and cornstarch instead of tapioca starch.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Yes, you can add other vegetables you may already have on hand. These other vegetables will work well too: zucchini, bell peppers, green beans, carrots, baby corn, and broccoli florets.<\/p> <\/div> This Chicken and Asparagus is best served with\u00a0mashed potatoes<\/a>,\u00a0roasted potatoes,<\/a>\u00a0white rice<\/a>,\u00a0cauliflower<\/a>\u00a0rice<\/a>,\u00a0or even steamed vegetables.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Store<\/strong> leftovers in an\u00a0airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 – 4 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Freeze: <\/strong>let the chicken and veggies cold completely. Place in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, defrost in the refrigerator and then reheat in a skillet until warmed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Love what you see? <\/strong>Subscribe<\/strong><\/a> to Mommy\u2019s Home Cooking so you\u2019ll never miss a recipe!
