Updated May 17, 2005

Ingredients

  • 1
    package (15 ounces) chicken breast tenders (not breaded)
  • 2
    teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/4
    teaspoon white pepper
  • 1
    pound broccoli
  • 3
    tablespoons chili or vegetable oil
  • 1
    hot fresh green chili, cut into very thin slices
  • 2
    tablespoons brown bean sauce
  • 2
    teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 1
    teaspoon sugar
  • 1
    teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 3
    green onions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces

Steps

  • 1
    Mix chicken, cornstarch, salt and white pepper in medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  • 2
    Peel outer layer from broccoli. Cut broccoli lengthwise into 1-inch stems; remove flowerets. Cut stems diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. Place broccoli flowerets and stems in boiling water; heat to boiling. Cover and cook 1 minute; drain. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain.
  • 3
    Heat wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add oil; rotate wok to coat side. Add chili, brown bean sauce, garlic, sugar and gingerroot; stir-fry 10 seconds. Add chicken; stir-fry about 2 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add broccoli and onions; stir-fry about 1 minute or until broccoli is heated through.

  • For 9 grams of fat and 250 calories per serving, decrease the oil to 1 tablespoon and use a nonstick wok or skillet.
  • Using minced or ground gingerroot from the jar makes for one less ingredient to chop. Look for it in the produce section of your grocery store.
  • Wear rubber gloves when working with chilies to prevent the burning oils from irritating your skin or eyes. If you prefer a milder taste, cut the chili in half and remove the membranes and seeds before slicing.
