George Hendrix of Carbondale, Colorado, writes: "My family is usually in a hurry, so dinner has to be on the table fast. The stir-fry doesn't require much preparation and the oyster sauce gives it rich flavor, which means I don't have any trouble getting my teenage boys to eat the vegetables."

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups 1 1/2-inch pieces asparagus
2 cups small broccoli florets
6 tablespoons low-salt chicken broth, divided
1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced crosswise

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add asparagus, broccoli, and 4 tablespoons broth. Cover and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl.
