Chinese Style Chicken and Pea Pods

1 pkg chicken breast (about a pound, or a little less)
1 pkg frozen pea pods
1/2 can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Soy sauce
Olive oil
1 tsp each fresh grated ginger and minced garlic

Thinkly slice chicken (if you put chicken into freezer for about 1/2 an hour it is MUCH eaiser to slice thinly).
In large saute pan, put 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add chicken, and saute until fully cooked, and golden brown. Remove to dish. In same pan, add onions, ginger, and garlic. Cook for about a minute. Add chicken broth and cornstarch mixture to medium heat. Use a whisk to scrape up any brown bits, and cook until mixture thickens, about a minute. If it's too thick, you can always add a little water. Add water chestnuts, pea pods, and then reserved chicken. Stir well and serve hot.

Fantastic with the friendly fried rice - for a low guilt Chinese style feast! :)
