We tried this recipe by Grace Young, who is well-regarded for healthy Chinese cooking: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/grace-youngs-velvet-chicken-with-asparagus-52140001 We used 1 lb chicken cutlets (thinly sliced chicken breast), which we cut into ¼” thick x 2″ wide diagonal slices. As the first step, we marinated the chicken for 30 mins, and towards the end of marinating time, we parboiled the asparagus, which we cut into 2″ diagonal pieces. We found the parboiling of the marinated chicken to be an ingenious shortcut. This was a quick and fairly straightforward meal. (Feb. 2019)
