2 tablespoons Soy sauce
½ cup Fat-free chicken broth
⅛ teaspoon Ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

2 medium-size chicken breast halves without skin or visible fat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil ½ cup sliced onions 2 cups (6 oz.) frozen broccoli cuts ½ cup fat-free chicken broth Combine first 6 ingredients and mix until smooth to form a marinade.

Drain well, reserving marinade for later use.

Fry chicken in vegetable oil in heavy frying pan until clear and firm. Remove chicken from frying pan with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of the fat as possible still in the frying pan. Add onions and broccoli to the fat in the frying pan. Slice any larger pieces to about ½-inch thickness. Cook and stir about 1 minute or until broccoli is thawed.

Add broth to vegetables, mix lightly, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Add marinade and cook and stir over moderate heat until sauce is thickened and clear. Add chicken and reheat to serving temperature. Serve ⅔ cup per serving over rice.
