What variations I can do in this recipe?

There are lot of variations you can do to this recipe:One of my favorite variations is adding Broccoli to the chicken instead of Asparagus.
Even instead of Pepper I have tried adding lots of Garlic to enhance the flavor or even adding Ginger will work great.
I have also tried adding few chunks of Pineapple to make some interesting Pineapple Chicken along with asparagus but added Pineapple at the very end instead of cooking it.It was amazing!

Flavor of  freshly cracked Black Pepper v/s Bottled ground Black Pepper:

I have realized that freshly cracked Black Pepper imparts so much flavor in any dish than bottled ground pepper.
I would highly recommend to freshly crack black pepper instead of using ground black pepper.

    1. I could eat stir fry every day of the week and not tire of it...love the possibilities. Chicken is always and fave and I love the pairing with asparagus. A good drizzle of sriracha and I'm set :)

    4. I totally agree that freshly cracked pepper is so much better. I was at my mom’s recently and she didn’t have it so I used regular pepper and was amazed by the difference.

    5. This sounds amazing, I love all those ingredients, and you are so right that freshly-cracked (or I like just freshly-ground) pepper makes a tremendous difference. So much more flavor, and no extra work!
