Directions:
In a medium bowl whisk together broth, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger. Set aside.

Heat oil in work or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes.

Add reserved sauce and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.

Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

* I usually add a couple of cups of frozen chopped broccoli when I add the sauce to the chicken.
