Step 1

1. In a bowl combine chicken, sherry, ginger, garlic and 2
tsp cornstarch. Chill 30 min. In another bowl combine
broth, soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, sugar and 2 1/2 tsp
cornstarch; set aside.
2. Saute 1 tsp oil and half the chicken in a large nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through,
about 5 min.; transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining
