I found this recipe on an eating well website. Originally, the recipe called for pork, but since I already had chicken at home I decided to use that rather than buy more than I needed to! Truthfully, I "liked" this dish, but I don't think I'll be making it all the time, at least not the way I made it this time. Helpful hint: It needs more veggies! Try adding water chestnuts, pea pods, broccoli, carrots...anything to kick up the flavor a little bit. But, over all, I'm glad I tried it! Here's what you'll need (makes roughly 2-3 servings):
1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 Tbs reduced sodium soy sauce
1 Tbs molasses
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbs oil
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 medium red onion
1 1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 Tbs fresh ginger
Combine chicken broth, molasses, and pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer 1 Tbs of the mixture to a small bowl; stir in cornstarch until mixed, and set aside for later. Heat 1/2 Tbs oil in a large skillet and add chicken. Cook chicken until no longer pink. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Cook the onion, sprouts, and ginger for about 3 minutes over med-high heat. Pour the broth and soy sauce mixture in the pan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring for another 3 minutes. Reduce heat and add chicken and reserved cornstarch mixture and cook until slightly thickened (about one minute). I finished this dish by serving it over Pad Thai noodles!
