I made homemade hoisin sauce for this recipe, and it turned out great! I also served it with chopped peanuts on top.

Very easy to make and extremely tasty. I am partial to brown rice (the 50 minute version) and used that. I also added sliced garlic with the asparagus. That helps to infuse garlic into the oil (which I didn't have peanut oil so I used 3 T of veg oil and 1 T sesame oil.) The final dish was absolutely delicious. A keeper in our recipe box.

Delicious! I didn't have any hoison sauce so I substituted with oyster sauce. I added some garlic, soy sauce and a dash of white wine like one reviewer suggested. I also added bell peppers with the asparagus. I served it over brown rice. Absolutely delicious!

Excellent! Very simple but very tasty. I to modified it some, but not a lot. I used honey instead of brown sugar, and added water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, which resulted in me having to make a little more of the Hoisin sauce mixture. For even faster prep I used bottled minced garlic and ginger to flavor the oil.

This recipe was great. I cooked the chicken first then threw the asparagus in rather than cooking the asparagus separate. I also added chopped garlic, soy sauce, and hot sauce to the sauce. I would definitely double the sauce to give the rice a little more flavor. I'm not wild about water chestnuts, but the asparagus had the same crunchy texture with that yummy asparagus flavor. I've made a lot of asian recipes, but this one is one of my favorites. I definitely recommend it.

This was delicious. Didn't have peanut oil so I just used olive oil but it still tasted fantastic. I will certainly make this again.

I made a few changes to this dish to use items I had on hand... I replaced the peanut oil with 1/4 cup PB, but we all agreed it made the sauce too thick. We liked the PB in the sauce so I'll just reduce the amount next time. I added a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp powdered ginger to the sauce which gave it a nice flavor, and also cut down on the sweetness a little. I added mushrooms, but didn't like those in this dish. Lastly, I don't have a wok so I used my big, tall-sided frying pan.

I only give this recipe 4 stars because I did make a few changes. I used sesame oil instead of peanut as others recommend. At whole foods I found a spicy sesame oil that was wonderful. The hoison sauce I had was a little sweeter than I expected (this was my first experience using it). Since we like food very spicy I also added red pepper to fire it up a bit more. I also made it with snow peas and carrots. It was delicious. Cooking the chicken in the hot sesame oil after seasoning with some salt, pepper, and garlic was great!

I have been looking for a recipe to really "wow" my boyfriend, and this was it! One chicken breast and a 1/2 lb of asparagus was the perfect amount for the two of us. I will definitely be making this again!

The chicken, wild rice and asparagus are wonderful together. This was the first time I used Hosin and my family and I did not like the taste or smell. Luckily, I had them taste the sauce before combining it with the chicken and asparagus. We improvised with Italian flavors and topped off the meal with shredded parmesan. My family enjoyed it this way.

Great Recipe! My teenagers loved it! I modified it a bit by subsituting fish sauce and adding peanut butter. A very simple recipe, which made it even better

Thank you so much for a WONDERFUL recipe! My husband has NEVER liked asparagus and he LOVED it! I served over Jasmine rice...serves beautifully! Funny, the utility man had stopped by as I was making dinner and even remarked how this meal looked and smelled, "looks like a restaraunt in here, as a matter of fact better"! Anyway, just wonderful! Thank you!

Very good! I didnt use 3/4 cup of oil. I only used 2 tablespoons for the asparagus, and 1 tablespoon for the chicken (which i boiled prior and cubed.) Also added a bit of onion powder and garlic powder. Very good. will make again.

This is one of my all time favorite recipes. It's fast, easy, healthy, and my whole family loved it. I also added cashews (thanks for the idea) since I already had some, and it made the recipe a bit more gourmet.
