Lemon Asparagus Chicken Stirfry is a quick, easy and hearty dish. It is one of my favorite meals this time of year when asparagus is local, fresh, in season and very inexpensive.

This sounds like something right up my ally–simple and delicious! I love fresh asparagus, this will tempt to try something different from the usualy pan-grilled green side dish that I always make.
This HAS to be good–my favorite ingredients!
