Ginger Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice

Makes 4 servings

Place the chicken, broccoli and ginger in a large bowl. Rub the ginger over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Place the broth, soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside.

Prepare the fried rice. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Coat with a light layer of the cooking spray and add the mushrooms, carrots and celery and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often until the mushrooms are soft. Add the rice, green onion and cashews. Stir to combine and turn the heat off.

Heat another large skillet over high heat. Reduced the heat to medium and add the sesame oil along with the chicken and broccoli. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often until the chicken and broccoli begin to brown. Reduce the heat to low. Stir the cornstarch mixture, as the cornstarch may have settled to the bottom of the bowl. Add it to the skillet and cover. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, stirring once or twice until the broccoli is fork tender and the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately with the rice.
