Preheat large (12"15") skillet over medium heat. Cut chicken into 1" pieces.

When skillet is hot, add 1 Tbs. oil along with chicken. Turn heat to high; sauté until chicken is browned and almost cooked through, 4-5 minutes.

Cook until sauce thickens and chicken is completely cooked through, about 1 minute. Servings: 4 Cals.: 268 Protein: 28 g Fat: 9 g. (1 g. saturated) Chol.: 83 mg. Carbs.: 20 g. Sodium: 936 mg.
