Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil

  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Place the cut chicken pieces in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the seasoned chicken and toss until all pieces are lightly coated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and ginger until the cornstarch is dissolved.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
