Ingredients

2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 large onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1 cup water
1/4 cup walnut halves
Hot cooked rice, optional

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oil, soy sauce, bouillon granules, ginger and chili powder; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken and marinade in remaining oil until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and keep warm. In the same skillet, stir-fry broccoli for 8 minutes. Add onion and red pepper; stir fry 6-8 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return chicken to the skillet. Combine remaining cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Sprinkle with nuts. Serve over rice is desired.
