Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. pieces
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
4 medium carrots, julienned
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

The sauce is a little too sweet for my taste, but that's an easy fix. I'll just add less brown sugar next time.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the broccoli was crisp-tender, and the sauce was flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
