Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

This is actually something good I got off Pinterest.  It's very fast with very simple ingredients.  I found it needed a bed of rice to sit on so I think topping it off with some brown rice will actually make it a meal in
a bowl - and not a bad one healthy wise.

Serves: 4-5

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast (I used 4 good sized ones), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped (I used 1 heaping tsp. jarred minced garlic)
2 tsp. finely chopped ginger
1 c. chicken broth
3 Tblsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sugar
4 c. broccoli flowerets
4 tsp. cornstarch

1.  Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat.  Add chicken, garlic and
     ginger.  Fry 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is browned a little.
2.  Add 3/4 c. of the broth, the soy sauce and sugar.  Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes,
     stirring twice.
3.  Add broccoli.  Cover and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer
     pink in center and broccoli is crisp-tender.
4.  Mix cornstarch with remaining 1/4 c. broth; stir into chicken mixture.  Cook, stirring frequently,
     until sauce is thickened.
