  3      Whole         broiler-fryer chicken breasts -- boned and cut in
         Piece          -- (1 inch)
  2      Tbsp.         corn oil -- divided
  2      Slices        ginger root
                        -- (equivalent 1/4
                       tsp. ground ginger)
    1/2  Tsp.          salt

frying 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is done and becomes
white and opaque. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm by
wrapping in foil. Discard ginger root if fresh ginger was
used. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of corn oil to pan. When
heated, add asparagus, excluding tips; stir-fry about 2
minutes. Add asparagus tips, onions and mushrooms, stirring
constantly for 1 to 2 minutes (asparagus should be bright
green). Return chicken to pan. Heat, covered, about 1 minute,
or until asparagus is tender-crisp. Season to taste.
