  • Yield

    serves 4, 1 1/4 cups per serving

Ingredients

2 14.5-ounce cans fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups diced skinless cooked chicken breast, cooked without salt
3 ounces fresh or frozen snow peas, thawed, halved diagonally
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced lengthwise, then cut in 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (green and white parts)
1/4 to 1/2 cup snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon grated peeled gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium lime, quartered

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, stir together the broth, chicken, snow peas, and bell pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, about 4 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
