Healthy-er Ginger Chicken

I just made this for dinner tonight(stolen from Hungry Girl). I thought that the flavor was good and strong; but the sauce a bit thick. I'm pretty sure the blame for that rests on me heating the sauce too long. 


My other mistake was putting the chicken in the flour and then adding the egg, forming a fabulous glue substance. I don't recommend this step as it made separating the bite size pieces and re-flouring them a giant pain in the gluey ass.
Not the best picture...


Ingredients:
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
10 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tbsp. low-sugar orange marmalade
1 1/2 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated), or HG Alternative
1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. chopped ginger
Dash red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. chopped scallions
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Place flour in a wide bowl.

Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Top with egg substitute and toss to coat.

One at a time, shake chicken pieces to remove excess egg and coat with flour. Evenly lay on the baking sheet.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk broth with cornstarch until cornstarch has dissolved. Add marmalade, vinegar, sweetener, and soy sauce, and thoroughly whisk.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook and stir garlic and ginger until slightly softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add broth mixture and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until well mixed and slightly thickened, 1 - 2 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat, add chicken, and toss to coat. Serve topped with scallions and enjoy!
