Orange Chicken With Broccoli (Weight Watchers) image

From the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. I posted it as it appears in the cookbook, but I would have liked more broccoli in it. Also, my sauce never really thickened, so I might skip the water next time and just use the juice and broth to cook the broccoli. I used the minced ginger in a jar to save time.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced and peeled
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 T water
1 orange, peeled and sectioned

Steps:

  • In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.
  • Add the chicken, cook 3 minutes.
  • Add the ginger and cook ginger and chicken 2 more minutes, or til chicken is cooked through.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • In the skillet, combine the broccoli and water, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook, covered, until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet; stir in the broth, orange juice, and soy sauce.
  • Add the dissolved cornstarch; cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly.
  • Add the orange; heat through.
