Ingredients

1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil, if desired
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
3/4 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
1 cup salted roasted cashews

Steps

1

Cook rice in water as directed on package.
2

Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix soy sauce, gingerroot, sugar and sesame oil. Stir in chicken until coated; let stand 15 minutes to marinate.
3

In small bowl, stir 1/4 cup of the broth and the cornstarch until cornstarch is dissolved; set aside.
4

In 12-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and add to heated oil in skillet; reserve any remaining marinade. Cook chicken about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink in center.
5

Stir broccoli and remaining 1/2 cup broth into chicken in skillet; cover and cook 1 minute. Stir in onions and cashews.
6

Stir reserved marinade into cornstarch mixture. Stir into chicken mixture; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Serve over rice.

Look for jars of grated gingerroot in water in the produce section. The fresh flavor and convenience can’t be beat.
