Serves: 4

PointsPlus Value: 5

4 tsp vegetable oil

1 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into ½-inch strips

2 cups broccoli florets

¼ cup water

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

¼ cup orange juice

3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1 Tbsp water

1 orange, peeled and sectioned

In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.  Add the ginger and sauté, stirring often, 2 minutes.  Transfer to a small plate with a slotted spoon.

In the same skillet, sauté the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes.  Transfer to another plate.  In the skillet, combine the broccoli and water, stirring to scrape up the browned bits fro the bottom of the pan;  cook, covered, until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes.  Return the chicken to the skillet; stir in the broth, orange juice, and soy sauce.  Add the dissolved cornstarch; cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly.  Add the orange; heat through.  Top with the ginger and serve.
