Chinese "brown Sauce" Chicken

Description: I love this recipe and could eat it at least once a week! I think it tastes very close to the brown sauce that is served in Chinese restaurants. I have made it with and without the veggies with great success.

Ingredients:

• 4 -6 boneless chicken breasts (or boneless pork chops)
• 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• broccoli
• carrot
• peas (stir fry veggies of your choice)
• hot cooked rice

Steps:

1. Lightly brown chicken breasts in a small amount of oil.
2. Remove from pan and add garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and 1 cup chicken broth.
3. Stir to mix and return chicken to pan and cover.
4. Simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is done (15-20 minutes).
5. Remove chicken again and add remaining broth, which has been mixed with cornstarch.
6. Bring to a boil to thicken and return chicken to the pan, coating it well.
