Ingredients 

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 to 8 (2 pounds) Gold'n PlumpĀ® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into strips
2-1/2 cups small broccoli florets
1 package (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and thoroughly cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Add the broccoli, mushrooms, almonds, onion, garlic, and chicken broth to the same skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Stir together the cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is clear and slightly thickened. Stir in the brown sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir in the cooked chicken. Cook, stirring frequently for 2 to 3 minutes or until the chicken is hot.
