Ingredients

4

boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)

1/4

cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/4

cup dry sherry or chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

2

tablespoons packed brown sugar

1

tablespoon grated gingerroot

2

cloves garlic, finely chopped

1

bag (16 oz) frozen stir-fry vegetables

Hot cooked rice, if desired

Preparation

Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Place chicken in shallow glass or plastic dish.

In small bowl, mix soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, gingerroot and garlic; pour over chicken. Cover; let stand 20 minutes to marinate.

Remove chicken from marinade. In 12-inch skillet, heat marinade over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in marinade 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center.

Stir in frozen vegetables. Cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender. Serve chicken mixture over rice.
