Yield Serves 4

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
10 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons onion-herb seasoning mix (such as Mrs. Dash)
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
3 large bay leaves
Cooked white rice

Steps:

Whisk vinegar, chicken broth, garlic, soy sauce and pepper in small bowl to blend. Season chicken breast halves on both sides with seasoning mix. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sautéuntil golden, about 4 minutes per side. Pour vinegar mixture over chicken. Add bay leaves. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate. Boil pan juices 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Spoon over chicken, discarding bay leaves. Serve with rice.

Tips:

Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet. This will help the chicken brown evenly and prevent sticking.
Make sure the chicken is cut into uniform pieces. This will help it cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
Stir-fry the chicken over high heat. This will help it brown and caramelize.
Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking. This will prevent them from overcooking.
Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make the dish taste amazing.
Serve the chicken over rice or noodles. This will help soak up the delicious sauce.
