Very Low Fat Broccoli Chicken Stir Fry - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
    12 ounces fresh broccoli florets
    3 ounces baby carrots, julienne cut
    3/4 cup chicken broth
    3/4 - 1 cup water
    4 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
    1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2 tablespoons water
    nonstick cooking spray
    rice, for serving
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Set aside for later.
    Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
    Add 1 cup water and vegetables to skillet. Cover and steam over medium heat until crisp/tender, stirring occasionally. Remove and keep warm, draining any extra water.
    Add chicken broth to pan, bringing to a boil.
    Reduce heat; add vegetables, chicken, and soy sauce mixture. Stir fry for about 5 minutes at a simmer, until heated through.
    Combine cornstarch and 2T of water, and stir into skillet. Bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes, until thickened.
    Serve over hot rice!
    NOTE: I like to throw the rice right into the stir fry at the end and mix it all up, adding some egg white as well for a \"fried rice\" feel. You may need to add more soy sauce depending on how much rice you use!
