In this honey mustard chicken and asparagus stir fry dish, bite-sized pieces of chicken breast were marinated in a mixture of cornstarch, soy sauce and sherry, browned and then stir-fried with asparagus and mushrooms. It was then flavored with this sweet, tasty honey mustard sauce. My family and I enjoyed this chicken stir-fry with steamed rice.
