Curry Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 1 cup sliced fresh carrots
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (two teaspoons of pre-minced canned organic garlic is the equivalent)
• 3 cups fresh broccoli florets (frozen works just the same)
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced

***Optional, your choice of rice to serve curry over

Directions: In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, curry and red pepper flakes. Stir in broth and soy sauce until smooth; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray, stir-fry chicken in 1 teaspoon until chicken juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.

In the same pan, stir-fry carrots and garlic in remaining oil until carrots are just slightly tender. Stir in broccoli; cook 2 minutes. Add onions; cook 1-2 minutes longer.

Give  broth mixture a still before pour into vegetables. Still all together and bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Yield: 4 servings.
