How to Make Chinese General Chicken Ww Core

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 2-inch pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons Splenda (or to taste), 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger.
  3. Set aside the sauce mixture.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 2 scallions (white and light green parts), finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with the remaining chopped scallions (green parts) and serve immediately over cooked rice.
