Sun Dried Tomato Chicken

 
 1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces 
8 oz. slice mushrooms, any kind 
1 bunch of asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces 
1 jar sun dried tomatoes in oil, preferably sliced 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1-2 TBS fresh chopped basil (I added some chopped parsley too.) 
Salt & Pepper to taste 
Parmesan Cheese 
 Microwave asparagus with a bit of water until slightly tender. Pour 1-2 TBS of oil, from the tomatoes into a pan. Over medium-high heat, stir-fry chicken & garlic until light golden. If necessary, add more oil, then mushrooms & asparagus, cooking until mushrooms are desired tenderness. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese. Heat through. I left my tomatoes sliced, but some family members would have preferred them in smaller pieces. Serve over rice, top with parmesan (or feta is good too.) I made risotto with arborio rice. If you've never tried it, you need to. It's a lovely Italian, short grained rice, and tastes close to being pasta.
