Asian Style Chicken & Broccoli

Bade made this dinner for me last night.  After making the dish we decided on a few changes that we will make next time.  See recipe below with our adjustments.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 chicken breast chopped
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup water chestnuts
  • handful of cashews
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions:

  1. Spray skillet and heat (on medium high) chicken, garlic and ginger. Fry 2 to 3 minutes until chicken is brown.
  2. Add 3/4 cup of the broth, the soy sauce and sugar. Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add broccoli, water chestnuts and cashews. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and broccoli are crisp-tender.
  4. Mix cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup broth; stir into chicken mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thickened.
