Stir-Fry Your Way

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
• 4 cups of your favorite vegetables (broccoli cut into bite-size pieces, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell peppers, chopped onion or thin green beans)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 8-oz. can pineapple chunks, canned in juice, drained, optional
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp. cold water
• 2 cups cooked brown rice or whole-grain noodles

Preparation

1. 1. Preheat a wok or large skillet on low. In a bowl, combine chicken broth, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Turn heat up to high. Pour in 1 Tbsp. canola oil and, once hot, add half of chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat with 1/2 Tbsp. oil and remaining chicken.
2. 2. Add vegetables and 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil to wok; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute.
3. 3. Return chicken to wok; add pineapple, if desired. Pour in chicken broth mixture and stir well. Add cornstarch and stir until sauce thickens and becomes shiny. Serve over brown rice or whole-grain noodles.
