Chicken-Broccoli Stir Fry

I chose this cooks.com recipe because wanted a different way to prepare my chicken breasts. Chicken breasts are good because they are a good source of protein and they don't have a lot of saturated fat or calories. This recipe provides a good serving of vegetables as well, and is very flavorful without having a lot of salt or sugar.

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb. fresh broccoli
1 small onion
1 tbsp. ground ginger
2 tbsp. cornstarch
3-4 carrots
3 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce (I used light soy sauce)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder (or real minced garlic)
1 1/4 c. water
My additions: Black pepper, red pepper flakes
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Place in small bowl and add ginger, garlic powder, 1 tbsp. cornstarch and 1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce. Mix and set aside.
Chop broccoli and onion. Slice carrots diagonally. In hot wok or skillet, stir fry chicken in 2 tbsp. oil until browned.

Add vegetables and stir fry 2-3 minutes. Add water mixed with remaining soy sauce and cornstarch. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes or until carrots are semi-tender. Serve over rice.


This is how mine came out.
Eat beautiful everyone!
