Ingredients

Sauce

• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (I didn't have ground so I substituted fresh and minced it)
• 1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Red (Cayenne) Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (14 oz.) can fat-free low sodium chicken broth

Stir-Fry

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 12 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
• 1 cup chopped carrot
• 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, cooked and peeled
• 3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice

What now?

1. Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce together in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
2. To prepare stir-fry, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a LARGE (I used the largest skillet I had) non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add Chicken to pan, stir-fry for 5 min or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove cooked chicken from pan, and set aside
3. Add another 1 tablespoon oil to pan. Add chopped broccoli, carrot, peas, onion and garlic and cook for 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
   
4. Add cooked chicken and shrimp to skillet, and add prepared sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens to desired consistency.

Serve Immediately over Cooked Rice
