Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli










Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli




2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 medium scallions, chopped (green and white parts)

1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth

2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce

2 cups cooked brown rice, regular or instant, kept hot

4 cups broccoli, fresh, florets, steamed
(filling foods: chicken, scallions, chicken broth, brown rice, broccoli)

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic; cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add chicken; cook until golden brown on all sides, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Add scallions; cook until soft, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add broth and teriyaki sauce; simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes.

Spoon 1/2 cup of cooked rice into each of 4 shallow bowls; spoon about 1 cup of chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of broccoli over each serving.

4 servings. 5 points a serving (including the rice)

I added steamed carrots on the side.

My kids ate this so well. I couldn't believe it. Bryan ate almost as much chicken as I did. I think that I only had a little more than 1/2 cup chicken on mine, not the full cup it calls for.
