Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon cornstarch; 2 teaspoons curry powder; 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth; 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce; 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes; 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided; 1 cup sliced fresh carrots; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 3 cups fresh broccoli florets; 4 green onions, thinly sliced

A hint of curry makes this meal-in-one a vibrant change of pace from weeknight staples. "I like to add a dash of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry for extra spice," shares Judie White of Florien, Louisiana.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 cup sliced fresh carrots
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
4 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

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.
In the same pan, stir-fry carrots and garlic in remaining oil for 1 minute. Stir in broccoli; cook 2 minutes longer. Add onions; cook 1-2 minutes longer.
Stir broth mixture and stir into vegetables. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to the pan; heat through.

Didn't like the taste was it to bland for me, seemed to be missing something just couldn't figure out what. Won't make it again.

My husband and I ate this over rice. We were pleasantly surprised! Leaves you satisfied and not heavy feeling like a lot of dinners can. The perfect amount of spice.

Wonderful! I live in Japan where curry is a common meal and I've tried many different variations at home. This one is a nice mild blend.. I'll definitely make this again, frequently lol. I know its a winner when even my kids want seconds :)
