Chicken and Asparagus

On the third day of healthy, you get chicken and asparagus! Cooking the asparagus in the chicken broth left this nice broth that when poured over rice made this dish really yummy. Plus, no butter or oil means it was even more healthy!

Ingredients
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 bunch slender asparagus spears, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1-inch pieces
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Directions
Spray large skillet with cooking spray and put over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until chicken is cooked through and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a side plate. Pour chicken broth into the skillet. Then stir in asparagus, garlic, and a pinch more garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cover, and steam until the asparagus is just tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet, and warm through. Serve over rice (optional).

Workout tip....CLASSES!
If you belong to a gym, slip a few classes into your routine. Mixing it up will keep your muscles guessing and you'll push yourself harder than when you are doing routines on the floor. For the ultimate burn go for high intensity cardio like kickboxing, zumba, or spin classes.
