Chicken and Asparagus Stir-Fry

This is a recipe that my mom got from some people who live in their neighborhood. It is so yummy, and makes my mouth drool just thinking about enjoying this right now. In a few months we will have fresh veggies right out of the garden and will be enjoying this regularly. If you love veggie stir fry, you could make this with tofu, it would probably be good with shrimp or beef as well, I prefer to make it with Chicken and hope you will enjoy this too.

4 Chicken Breasts, sliced
1 bunch asparagus cut into 3 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper cut into bite size pieces
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms cut in half
1/2 yellow onion sliced

1/2 tsp. Salt
