Servings: 4 (Because who wants to make dinner for just themselves?)

What You’ll Need:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (because healthy fat = healthy you!)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (bring on the flavor!)
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced (it’s like a zesty hug for your taste buds)
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch strips (goodbye, boring chicken)
• ¼ cup raw cashews (hello, crunch!)
• ½ red bell pepper (for that pop of color)
• 4 green onions (the more, the merrier!)
• 1 bunch asparagus (your body will thank you later)
• ½ cup chicken broth (the secret sauce to greatness)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (a splash of sunshine)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (fancy, huh?)
• Dash of salt and pepper (for a little kick)

Instructions:

1. Fire Up That Skillet: Place a large skillet over high heat and toss in half of the olive oil. Let that heat up like a summer day. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, chicken, and cashews. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken’s all cooked through. Take the chicken out of the skillet and set it aside on a clean plate. It’s had its time to shine—now let’s move on!
2. Veggie Time: Add the rest of the olive oil to the hot skillet. Toss in the bell pepper, green onions, and asparagus, and cook for about 3 minutes. It’s like a vegetable party in there. Don’t be afraid to stir them up a bit and give them some love.
3. The Broth Bomb: Now, add the chicken broth to the skillet and let it cook for another 2 minutes. It’ll start smelling like heaven.
4. Back in Action: Return the chicken and cashews to the skillet. Let them rejoin the veggie party and stir it all together. Now it’s time for the finishing touches: Stir in the lemon juice, chia seeds, and a dash of salt and pepper. Taste-test your masterpiece (be honest, you’re probably already drooling).

Done! You just made a healthy, delicious stir fry that’s as easy as it is tasty. Go ahead, take a bow. You’ve earned it.
