Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1 c sliced carrots
2 c snow peas, stems and strings removed
1 c red bell pepper, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 bunch green onions, cut into small pieces
1/2 c fat-free chicken broth
1 medium lemon
3 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
4 clove garlic, minced

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. It was easy to make, but I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were still crisp. I would probably use less lemon juice next time.
