  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sugar to pan; cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves and is lightly browned. Combine soy sauce, chile paste, and ginger in a small bowl; add to pan. Add chicken broth, sesame oil, and chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally.
