Sauce Ingredients

- Rinse chicken with cool water. Put in bowl or baking dish (9x13 glass pan). Add water. Rub meat with crushed garlic, pepper, salt and soy sauce. Let marinade for 1-2 hours.
- Making volcano sauce – Heat chicken broth on medium heat. Add sweet chili sauce. Add soy sauce. Mix well. Add hot pepper (if you like it spicy). Cook on low heat while chicken is cooking.
- Cooking chicken – heat frying pan on high with 2 tbsp olive oil until hot. Put approx. 3 to 4 pieces of chicken in the frying pan at one time. Cook chicken for 2 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Do not over cook. Also good when cooked on a grill. Slice cooked chicken about ¼ inch thick and put into bowl.
- Cooking Vegetables – In large cooking pan or skillet or Wok, heat 2 tbsp olive oil until hot. Put all vegetables (except asparagus) and stir together for 2 to 5 minutes until soft as desired. Saute fresh asparagus spears for 3 to 5 minutes in same pan as chicken (after chicken is removed). Add more olive oil (if necessary). Layer in serving pan/dish – vegetables on bottom, then chicken, then asparagus and pour volcano sauce over all.
- Serve with hot cooked rice.
