"GRILLED CHICKEN AND SAUTEED ASPARAGUS"

Been busy lately, sorry haven't been updating as frequently as I used to ha.

Anyway, here's what we had last night... simple, quick and of course tasty.
The chicken, I just marinated with the classic "quick" barbecue mix of soy sauce, sugar(splenda) and lemon juice (ok, kalamansi will always be better), and the asparagus are the leftover stems that some would normally discard after cooking the tips and thinner spears.
I peeled the thicker end of the asparagus spears and cut it into thinner slices, and sauteed it. Still taste good, and it surely feels good not to put them to waste.
