  see note if you don’t have fish sauce

  cut into thin strips
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lbs 1 pound asparagus

  tough ends trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces

  or sweet basil

Instructions

• 1 In a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, cornstarch,
  sugar, and chili sauce.In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 ½ teaspoons of the
  olive oil over medium-high heat.
• 2 Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until no longer pink, 6 to 8
  minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of oil
  to the skillet and swirl to coat. Add the onion and asparagus and cook, stirring
  frequently, until just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
• 3 Add the garlic and stir constantly until fragrant, 30 seconds. Return the
  chicken to the pan along with the soy sauce mixture.
• 4 Stir and let the sauce come to a simmer until it thickens enough to coat the
  chicken and vegetables. Stir in the basil until wilted and fragrant and serve.
