6 Servings


24 ounces boneless chicken breasts, skinned
2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons margarine
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut into 1 inch cubes. Set aside. Place 2 cups chicken broth and chicken in microwave-safe casserole, cover and cook 5 minutes on medium. Stir and cook another 5 minutes. Drain chicken and discard broth. Transfer chicken to a place and set aside. In the same casserole dish, melt margarine on high for 20 seconds. Add vegetables, cover and cook on high 7 minutes.
