Ingredients

• 3/4 cup canned chicken broth, reduced-sodium
• 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp peanut oil

• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chili pepper, minced
• 1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 cups cooked white rice, kept hot

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger; set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add chicken; saute until browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Add reserved sauce to pan and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.

Serve chicken and sauce over rice. Yields about 1 cup chicken with sauce and 1/2 cup rice per serving.
