Orange Chicken with Broccoli

Yield: 4 servings (4 ww pts each)

• 4 tsp vegetable oil (we used ginger oil)
• 1 Tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger (we used a dash of ground ginger)
• 1 lb chk, thawed and cut into strips
• 2 cups broccoli florets (I just used a bag of frozen)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1 Tbsp water
• 1 orange, peeled and sectioned (we used a couple clementines)

1. In a large skillet, fry the chicken in oil.  If you do fresh ginger you want to do that first and then set it aside.
2. Sprinkle chicken with ginger.  Once cooked through, set aside.
3. In the same skillet, combine broccoli and water.  Cook 5-6 minutes (longer if frozen) and then add chicken back to skillet.
4. Stir in broth, orange juice and soy sauce.
5. Add corn starch mixture, bring to boil.
6. Once it thickens a little, add the orange and heat through.
7. Serve and enjoy!

We had ours with some brown rice, though it didn’t need it.  This is a hearty meal and REALLY quite tasty.  It isn’t as easy as my normal meals (i.e. throw it in a pan and bake) but really it isn’t too hard and the flavors are worth the little bit extra!
