   Made this last night and wow, what a hit! Omitted a few things I didn’t have to hand at home but thanks so much for sharing such a simple, tasty dish.

   Love your blog, great job with the pic, and the recipe sounds amazing! Also like the anecdotes, I too am very bad with due dates.

   Made this tonight. Instead of honey using coconut agave (syrup) & adding in some brocolli & pepper. Also quinoa instead of rice. So yum!!

   It’s crazy. I was looking up recipes on Pinterest; I typed in “chicken recipes” and this is the second thing that popped up. I was planning on cooking chicken with asparagus, and this just happened to be at the top of the page. I never would have thought to put it in a stir fry !

   I made this last night and it was really good! I will definitely be making this again. I was worried it might be too sweet, but it definitely was not. The garlic at the end is a nice touch. I didn’t have scallions so I just sprinkled some chopped chives on top at the end.

   Made this for dinner tonight! I marinaded the chicken in the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and garlic for a few hours before sautéing and it was delicious! I think we will double the soy sauce/honey next time for some extra sauce – it only increased the calorie content by about 10-15 cals. Thanks for the recipe!

    I made this tonight and it was very good. Next time I will make 3-4 times as much marinade. There was none left in the bowl when I took the chicken out, and more would have been nice for the rice. I like my stir fry saucier, though it was still very tasty.

    one of my new favorite “go-to” meals, easy to do for the most basic chefs (aka me) and amazing results. Good work!

      Thanks Chris, I appreciate that!

    I’ve just tried this after seeing it on a FB 15 minute meal post – I added purple sprouting broccoli to the recipe (because I am both a greedy moo, and pretty hungry at the time) – absolutely delicious, and made within the time to brew of spot of jasmine tea.

    Thank you! :D

    • Ali — April 29, 2015 @ 9:31 pm

      Yum, I bet it was gorgeous with that purple broccoli! Sounds lovely with the jasmine tea too. Glad you enjoyed it! : )

    Wow, so darn simple and full of flavor. Plus clean up is as easy as can be. Add put a little sraracha sauce on the side for s heat.

    • Ali — May 5, 2015 @ 11:27 am

      Thanks Dave!

    This was really tasty!!! I will certainly make it again! Only thing though…how in the world did your chicken look so appetizing?! Mine was all kinds of soy sauce brown. Other than the appearance I love it lol

    • Ali — June 4, 2015 @ 7:57 am

      Thank you, Blake! And haha, I’m not sure! Maybe it’s just my lighting. Glad you enjoyed it though! : )

    I made this last night and omitted/added a few ingredients! While the recipe was overall good- I had a few suggestions from those enjoying dinner with me (I thought I’d share them with you)
    * Add salt
    * Add a bit more soy sauce
    * Add ginger

    We added raw almonds to the finished product and paired it with Siracha sauce- it was amazing

    • Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven — August 7, 2015 @ 11:33 am

      Thanks for your tips Leslie, we always appreciate feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the recipe!

    I am a student. And I love making good food that takes minimum effort and time. I made this for lunch, while I cleaned the apartment, and did my laundry. It turned out really nice. I added a little bit of dried rosemary and ground pepper before marinating. Thank you for the lovely recipe.

    • Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven — September 8, 2015 @ 10:03 am

      Thanks for sharing Nadu, we’re happy this worked out well for you!

21. Shelby Lipschuetz — July 13, 2016 @ 8:13 pm Reply

    Made this tonight! It was delicious and super easy, however the recipe asks you to set aside the asparagus after cooking it and doesn’t ever tell you to do anything else with it. I think I added it back too soon because it became very soggy. It didn’t really ruin anything except I love the slight crunch that comes with stir fry. Just a heads up!
    Would have paired well with water chestnuts for additional crunch or cashews for additional nutrients,
    Thanks for the recipe!

    • Ali — October 12, 2016 @ 5:37 pm

      Whoops — so sorry about that! Major typo. Yes, you just add it back in at the very end with the sesame oil. My apologies!

22. Megan — August 8, 2016 @ 10:12 pm Reply

    Very good and very simple to make. One of our favorite fast food places is Panda Express. My husband says this is better than eating at Panda Express.

    Just made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious, fast, and easy to make. Added eggplant too but everything else was the same. Thank you!

    Would this freeze well?

    • Hayley @ Gimme Some Oven — January 18, 2017 @ 10:11 pm

      Hi Veronica! We think so, the only thing we’d be concerned about is how well the asparagus would hold up after being frozen.

26. Adele — February 27, 2017 @ 11:27 am Reply

    Made this for dinner and made extra sauce. FABULOUS!! I added some shrimp too for a bit of added flavor and it was divine! Thank you for this recipe!

    Turned out beautifully, used onions and asparagus, doubled the amount of sauce three in a few red pepper flakes, served with siriacha and wild rice.

    I made this and added a touch of rice wine vinegar and some feta on top- it was better than i expected and could rival almost anything ive eaten within the last year. Your blog is amazing.

    Made this tonight with leftover chicken! was delicious! So simple…so good. Thank you. Used less oil than called for…subbed water but did use some oil.

    Yea, this was pretty bomb, not going to lie. I would cook this 100 more times

34. Sharon — March 20, 2018 @ 1:09 pm Reply

    Prepared this stir fry again last night. It was even better than the first time. Very good recipe especially in the spring with all the beautiful asparagus on the market. Didn’t have time to marinade the chicken but the soy sauce/honey coating really makes the chicken. It add a glaze to the chicken. Yum!

35. Miki — March 20, 2018 @ 5:40 pm Reply

    This is an excellent, tasty recipe that blends all the ingredients with amazing subtlety. For anyone who cares, the approx. calories are 430 TOTAL with the toasted sesame seeds…..430 divided by 2 to 4 servings is sooooo low before you even decide upon putting over rice or DOUBLING the sauce. If you decide to increase the sauce it will add an additional 69 calories (again divided by each serving!) for each Tbsp of honey and soy added. The average calories for 1/2 cup (normal serving) of the various rices is about 100 calories.
    Even with the recipe divided into 2 servings with rice and doubling the sauce, the dish comes under 350 calories per serving with amazing nutritional value as a bonus to the great taste and ease of preparation.
    Great dish Ali….love great food especially when the prep is this easy!!! Thank you for sharing!

    Delicious! A little bland, ut I added some Szechuan sauce, onion, and green peppers.

40. Arleen — July 3, 2019 @ 11:36 pm Reply

    Thanks so much for this recipe it is delicious! I did need to add extra sauce and I substituted the rice with cauliflower rice and it was so good.

41. Sharon — January 12, 2020 @ 6:36 pm Reply

    Love this recipe and I’ve made it several times. I have always been confused about the reserved marinade. This time I made a second batch of marinade (50/50 honey and soy sauce) to use later. It is unclear whether the recipe calls for using the marinade the chicken has been sitting in (something I don’t do) or reserve some marinade before adding the chicken.
    We love this dish!

    I have made this twice for my family in less than a week! So flavorful!
