Easy recipe alert! I am all about cheap, quick and simple meals. This is one for the books. Not only is it fun to make, but you can customize it as your own. This is a basic chicken stir fry recipe with vegetables and a really delicious sauce. I chose broccoli, water-chestnuts and onion for my veggies.  The process is very simple. Cook the chicken on the stove in a skillet, add the sauce and vegetables until ready. I served with fried rice and dinner is a done deal! 

 Ingredients: Water chestnuts, minced ginger, soy sauce, garlic powder, chicken broth, vegetable oil, corn starch, onion, broccoli and chicken (not pictured)

 Trim and slice about 1 pound of skinless boneless chicken breast into thin slices or cubes.

Heat 2 T oil in a nonstick pan over medium high heat and add the chicken when hot. Stir frequently.

 Combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl.

Mix well.

 After chicken is cooked, add the soy sauce mixture and continue to cook until tender. 

While the chicken is cooking, chop a medium onion and prep 2 cups broccoli florets. 

Add all the veggies to the pan (water chestnuts if desired).

While dish is cooking mix 8 oz of chicken broth with 3 T corn starch until dissolved.

After about 5 minutes of cooking, add the chicken broth/ corn starch mixture. 

 Stir continuously until thickened and veggies are tender.

 Serve with rice (optional) and ENJOY!
