Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots, cut lengthwise in half
  • 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (3 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Hot cooked brown rice, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic and gingerroot; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is brown.
  • 2
    Stir in onion, carrots, 3/4 cup of the broth, the soy sauce and sugar. Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
    Stir in broccoli, mushrooms and bell pepper. Cover and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center and vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • 4
    In small bowl, mix cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup broth; stir into chicken mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To lower the carb count, choose your favorite sugar substitute instead of using the regular table sugar called for in this summer stir-fry recipe. US labeling guidelines state that 1 serving of any sweetener product (produced after January 1, 2020) should provide the same sweetness as 2 teaspoons of sugar.
  • tip 2
    Shiitake mushrooms make a flavorful choice for the mushrooms in this summer vegetable stir-fry recipe. Just make sure to remove and discard the stems, which are tough and will not soften during cooking.
  • tip 3
    To save time when making this summer chicken stir-fry, purchase precut packages of broccoli in the produce section of the grocery store.
