Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, curry and red pepper flakes. Stir in broth and soy sauce until smooth; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray, stir-fry chicken in 1 teaspoon oil for 5-6 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
