I am on the hunt for healthier meal options and a lazy day actually led to this delicious new dish that is now on my list of favorites.
I had a ton of ingredients left over in the fridge and cupboards but none of them really “went together” I didn’t have enough ingredients to make a sauce and I wasn’t sure what meal I was going to be able to cook for dinner that night.
I literally started chopping and throwing things together and realised around halfway through that if I added some garlic and seasonings it would actually be a great meal that could stand on it’s own! – and I was right!
This simple dish is a clean eating meal that is easy to make, delicious and not too messy either so there is minimal clean-up (which is a bonus in this house!)
Ingredients
*Serves 1 Dinner or 2 Lunches*
- 100g Chicken – chopped
- 3 Medium Cloves Garlic – finely chopped
- 125g Asparagus Tips – chop
- 150g Rice Noodles
Method
1.Chop the chicken along with one chopped clove of garlic and lightly fry on a medium heat until cooked around the outside.
2. Next, chop the asparagus tips and add them to the chicken along with the rest of the chopped garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add the rice noodles, stir to break them apart and make sure they are coated in the juices. Cook for a further 5 minutes making sure that the chicken is cooked all the way through and serve.
This meal also makes a great meal prep option and you can easily scale up or down to make larger portions. One thing I will note is that don’t double the amount of garlic, take it up by halves otherwise, it is too much for the meal. For example, when doubling this recipe, use 4-5 cloves of garlic not 6 (the rest doubles as usual)

I’ve never been a fan of asparagus, and I think this is because I never found a great recipe.
Yours is very easy to follow and ithe meal looks delicious!
This sounds so easy and delicious! Plus all i have to do is omit chicken to make it vegan:) Maybe I can add some tofu instead!
Omg can we say yum????? I just love asparagus!! One of my fave veggies!!! Must try this recipe.

I have a small obsession with asparagus so this looks like the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner!

I have been trying more and more to be healthy. Adding in asparagus to meals like this seems like a great way to get those flavors and the health.
We love any meal that has asparagus. This one with the noodles looks amazing! I never would have thought to add it in.
A lovely, yummy healthy meal. Great that it looks quick and easy and not too many ingredients.

Asparagus is my favorite vegetable HANDS DOWN. It is SO delicious. AND so healthy!!! It is so important to put good food in our bodies.
I love chicken because they’re so easy to cook and there are so many healthy recipes that use chicken which is awesome. I think this is a lovely dish and it’s easy to make as well! So convenient!
This looks delicious, I pinned it too…
This looks so amazing! I am trying to eat healthier and will have to add this to my dinner or lunch rotation!
We love asparagus and noodles, now I need to combine them and make this dish. It looks yummy and I’m sure my family will love this. Thanks for sharing!
Rice noodles are my favorite to cook! They don’t take any time at all and they are so easy to flavor with different recipe varieties. This recipe looks really healthy and something that would be easy to do on a weeknight.
Minimum clean up! Sounds like my kinda meal! I’d switch out the chicken for vegan chicken though 😉
This looks insanely good, I love garlic and I love asparagus and noodles. This would taste amazing with quorn chicken as a veggie option.
Oh wow! This is something my husband would really like. You make it sound simple and delicious. My kind of meal.
I love asparagus, it is one of those forgotten vegetables sometimes. This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!
This looks good! A wholesome and clean recipe that’s still hearty, is hard to find. But it could easily be a Fall staple in my house.
This sounds delicious. We have been trying to eat cleaner. Question where do you get rice noodles?
you should definitely give it a try! you can get rice noodles at the supermarket they are just a healthier alternative (and they last a bit longer in the cupboard) than egg noodles 🙂 I use Amoy ones but there are own brand.
I would probably not only double the garlic when making a larger portion – I would probably add more! I love garlic so much – at least I don’t have to worry about vampires!
And this looks SO yummy and healthy and totally my style of cooking! I love all the ingredients and am totally going to try this out! Love asparagus…and anything noodles is a WIN!
Looks good, is healthy, and is fast and easy to make! I am always trying to find good yet tasty recipes that can be made quickly as I do not have much time on my hands. This is a great one.
