Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots, cut lengthwise in half
  • 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (3 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Hot cooked brown rice, if desired

    Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic and gingerroot; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is brown.
  • 2
    Stir in onion, carrots, 3/4 cup of the broth, the soy sauce and sugar. Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
    Stir in broccoli, mushrooms and bell pepper. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are crisp-tender.
