Preparation

Step 1

Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add chicken, ginger, and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Add red pepper and green onions to skillet. Stir-fry until crisp tender, adding water or broth, as needed, to prevent sticking. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with chicken broth. Stir into skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Gently stir in cooked chicken, mandarin oranges, and water chestnuts. Heat thoroughly. Serve over brown rice or noodles. Serves: 4.
