Re: Quick question:
Im making this:
Chicken with Broccoli and Garlic Sauce
POINTS® value | 5
Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 17 min
Cooking Time | 15 min
Level of Difficulty | Easy
main meals | Thick, garlicky gravy smothers golden chicken and tender-crisp broccoli in this Chinese dish. It’s so easy, it may just become a weekly staple.
Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil
3 medium garlic clove(s), minced, or more to taste
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp dried thyme, or 2 tbsp fresh minced thyme, or to taste
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cup broccoli, florets
1 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 cup cooked brown rice, kept hot
Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Season chicken with thyme, salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
Add broccoli to skillet, cover and cook 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of broth, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/2 cup of broth and add mixture to skillet. Simmer until mixture thickens, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Serve over rice. Yields about 1 cup of chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.

Re: Quick question:
Yes--either one will thicken a sauce, but cornstarch will make it thicker than flour.
I think a 1-1 one ratio, will work, but it shouldn't matter too much much for sauce, just add untill the consistancy seems right.
ETA--That sounds tasty!

Re: Quick question:
Yes you can...but you need twice as much flour as cornstarch.

Re: Quick question:
I think you should use half as much corn starch as you would flour.
