Chicken/Broccoli Stir Fry

The meat marinates for an hour or so, so this can't be a totally last minute meal.

1 lb boneless chicken breasts
2 T soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T dry sherry (optional)
1/2 tsp. fresh ginger, grated
1 T peanut oil or vegetable oil
2 stalks broccoli, cut in bite-size pieces
1 C bean sprouts
1 C chicken broth
1 T cornstarch
1/2 C cashews

Cut chicken in strips, marinate in soy sauce, garlic, sherry and ginger. Refrigerate 1 hour. Heat wok or fry pan over high heat; add oil to coat bottom and sides of pan. Stir fry chicken until light brown; add broccoli and continue stir frying until broccoli is crisp/tender. Add bean sprouts. Mix cornstarch with chicken broth; sitr into chicken mixture. When sauce thickens, reduce heat and add cashews. Serve over rice.
Serves 4.

The chicken always turns out tender, and Susanna (7) and Nathan (hubby) like this. The little boys won't eat it, but they won't really eat anything.
Enjoy! :)
