"Chinese Takeout" Lemon Chicken

This recipe from Kraft's kitchens looks great! The Lemon Chicken I have delivered is deep-fried, so this version looks a lot healthier (and probably a great deal more affordable!) This comes from a free magazine called Food and Family that Kraft foods puts out seasonally. It is mailed to your home. To subscribe, click here LINK

'Chinese Takeout' Lemon Chicken

1 Tbsp Oil
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 cup chicken broth

Shortcut: substitute 2 pkgs (6 ounces each) of Oscar Mayer Grilled Chicken Breast Strips for the cooked fresh chicken strips. Heat oil in skillet as directed. Add chicken breast strips, snow peas and peppers; cook3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Continue as directed.
