Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 c sliced carrots
2 c snow peas, stems and strings removed
1 c red bell pepper, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 bunch green onions, cut into small pieces
1/2 c fat-free chicken broth
1 medium lemon
3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
4 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

1. 1. Spray a large, non-stick skillet with non-fat cooking spray, and set over medium-high heat. Grate 1 teaspoon lemon zest and set aside.
2. Juice the lemon and whisk 3 tablespoons of the juice with broth, soy sauce, pepper and cornstarch in a small bowl.
3. Add chicken to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Whisk the broth mixture and add to the pan; cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
