CHINESE CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI
I found this recipe on dlife.com. I do not have diabetes but was searching for a specific recipe and I found it here! The resulting dish is one that is high in flavor and low in carbohydrates. To lower the carbs further, the cornstarch can be omitted. This will result in more of a broth as opposed to a sauce.
