- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 3/4 pound chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp canola oil

Preparation:
In a glass dish, stir together soy sauce, lemon juice and zest, and cornstarch. Add chicken pieces and coat well with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add garlic and fry until softened. Reserving the marinade, add chicken followed by the scallions, asparagus and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink.
