Ingredients
2 teaspoons canola oil or other vegetable oil1/4 teaspoon salt1 pound boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes1 tablespoon soy sauce2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger3 cups broccoli florets1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided1 tablespoon cornstarch4 firm-ripe plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
Directions
1. Heat oil and salt in a 12-inch nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When oil is very hot, add chicken breast and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add soy sauce, garlic, and ginger and stir well.

2. Add broccoli, then slowly add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until broccoli is just tender.

3. Meanwhile, mix cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup broth until dissolved. Stir tomatoes and cornstarch mixture into skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 2 minutes or until sauce thickens and clears. Serve hot.


You can substitute lean slices of beef or pork loin for the chicken, and red or yellow bell peppers for the tomato, if you like. If you use bell peppers, add them to the skillet at the same time as the broccoli. Serve this dish with brown rice or noodles.

"I added some red pepper flakes and more garlic. Also added snow pea pods, which gave it more crunch. I put it over a small amount of rice noodles. Next time I make it, I'll try it over brown rice (fewer calories)."

     Made this using pre-cooked chicken breast and pre-measured frozen cubes of garlic and ginger - cut the prep and cook time down to 10 minutes. - 3/26/08

     Not too bad, but it was a little bland. I would add more ginger, garlic, and hot pepper flakes if I make it again. - 2/23/08

     This was absolutely delicious!! I made some modifications because I didn't have broccoli (used a bag of frozen stir-fry veggie mix); also wanted to add a bit more flavor. Didn't add the tomatoes. Added more ginger powder and garlic. Also sauteed onions with the garlic and chicken first. YUM!! - 1/24/08

     I loved this! I did tweak it a bit though. I added lots more veggies, including bell peppers, snap peas, cabbage, and cut out the tomatoes. Very yummy!! No need for rice with this hearty meal! - 1/22/08

  • DAVENOHE
     This was awesome! I have some left over imitation crab in the fridge...I'm going to make this again tomorrow with that. I didn't use all of the broth...I actually only needed about a cup's worth. I like my broccoli crisp. I also threw in a large handful of spinach. - 1/4/21

     Made this recipe yesterday. Was delicious. I did add a few additional ingredients to this.
    Added 1 c slice mushrooms, 1/2 a red pepper, some red pepper flakes, and was really good.
    Plan on making it again and adding snow peas too. - 6/30/14

     I already had thin chicken breasts marinating in italian dressing so I used this and cooked without the oil. Also used red peppers instead of tomatoes. Came out a little more watery then I wanted but my daughter loved dipping the broccoli in the extra sauce. Wife asked if it was soup...whatever! - 5/28/14
