    2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
    6 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
    2 tablespoons apricot fruit spread
    1 can (11 ounces) mandarin orange segments
    2 cups hot cooked white rice or Chinese egg noodles

    Recipe



    1. Combine vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper in medium bowl. Cut chicken crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Toss chicken with vinegar mixture. Marinate 20 minutes at room temperature.

    2. Heat oil in wok or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Add chicken to wok; stir-fry 3 minutes or until no longer pink. Stir in onions and bell pepper.

    3. Stir cornstarch into reserved marinade.
