Ingredients

 
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 10 ounces)
 
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
 
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium or regular soy sauce
 
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
 
1 large red bell pepper
 
1 medium red onion
 
1 large stalk broccoli
 
3/4 cup chicken broth
 
1/2 teaspoon sugar
 
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
 
2 cloves garlic, crushed through a press
 
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
 
1/4 cup walnut halves or pieces

Directions

1 Cut the chicken into 1 -inch cubes. Place the chicken in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch. Toss to thoroughly coat the chicken.
2 Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch squares. Halve the onion and cut it into 1/4 inch-thick slices. Separate the broccoli florets from the stem and cut the stem into Winch-thick slices.
3 In a small bowl, combine the broth, sugar, red pepper flakes and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch.
4 In a large skillet or wok, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot but not smoking, add the chicken and the marinade and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is opaque but still slightly pink in the center. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
5 Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add the bell pepper, onion, broccoli, garlic and water chestnuts and stir-fry until the onions begin to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.
6 Return the chicken to the skillet and add the walnuts. Stir the broth mixture, add it to the skillet and bring the liquid to a boil.
7 Cook, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the chicken is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
