Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
