Orange Chicken With Broccoli (Weight Watchers)

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.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

1. In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.
2. Add the chicken, cook 3 minutes.
3. Add the ginger and cook ginger and chicken 2 more minutes, or til chicken is cooked through.
4. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
5. 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.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet; stir in the broth, orange juice, and soy sauce.
7. Add the dissolved cornstarch; cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly.
8. Add the orange; heat through.
