Olive oil with garlic in it, then cook diced chicken in it. Add a bunch of asparagus and stir fry for a couple of minutes. Served over angel hair pasta. Yum.

And yes, I have tried canned asparagus when it was the wrong time of year, and it truly is an abomination. Now I use frozen if I must have this dish at a time when I can't get fresh, or it is too expensive and not good quality to boot. Not the same as fresh, but that's how it goes.
