Ingredients

• 2  cups  cooked wild rice
• 8  ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 pieces
• 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1  shallot, chopped
• 8  ounces fresh asparagus, washed and trimmed to 1 1/2 pieces

• 2  tablespoons skim milk, cold
• 1  teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

1. Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add the shallots and cook until tender, about 1 minute.
2. Add chicken, cooking until no pink remains.
3. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about a minute. Spoon chicken mixture into a bowl and set aside.
4. Add asparagus to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, 6-8 minutes, until asparagus is bright green and starting to tender.
5. Add wine and cook, stirring, until it evaporates. Remove asparagus to the chicken bowl.
