Servings
Ingredients
0.75 cup low fat unsalted chicken broth
1.75 floz cooking sherry
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
5 tsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Chili Peppers, puree, with garlic
3 tsp peanut oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 medium onions , chopped
1 tbsp fresh ginger root , peeled and grated
0.5 bunch broccoli , cut into florets
0.25 cup cold water
0.25 cup unsalted cashews , coarsely chopped


Directions
1 In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, and chili garlic puree until smooth and set aside.
2 Place a large nonstick pan or wok over medium high heat and heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil and swirl the pan to coat the entire bottom; then, add in the chicken. Thoroughly cook the chicken, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a plate; keep warm.
3 Place the remaining teaspoon of oil into the pan and add the onion and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds to blend flavors and add in the broccoli. Stir-fry until tender yet crisp, about 2 minutes. Add in the broth mixture from step 1 and the water. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and bubbles, about 1 minute. Add back in the chicken, add the cashews, and heat through, about 1 minute.
Additional Information
Almonds or peanuts make a great substitute for the cashews, or can be removed altogether if desired.
