  • 1 lb (450 grams) skinless, boneless chicken breast - (cut into bite sized pieces)
  • ¼ cup fat free chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic - (minced)
  • ⅓ cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Spray a large, nonstick skillet with an olive oil mister or non-fat cooking spray, and set over medium high heat.
  • Generously season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in skillet. Brown chicken evenly on both sides, adding the broth, tbsp by tbsp to keep the chicken from sticking to the pan. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, and pour over the chicken. Bring sauce to a boil, and then let simmer for another minute or two until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and serve.
