Ingredients

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups frozen sugar snap peas (from 24-oz bag)

1 teaspoon sugar
2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
3 cups hot cooked brown rice

Steps:

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and gingerroot; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken begins to brown.
Add broccoli, 1/2 cup of the broth and the pepper flakes. Cover; cook over medium heat 2 minutes, stirring once. Add peas; cook 2 to 4 minutes longer, stirring once, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
