(Don't look at the scratched up plate I put it on.... I just wanted to post the final product and didn't pay attention to the plate! LOL)

Ingredients
3 large raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into nuggets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs slightly beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup fat-free chicken broth
4 tablespoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons pancake syrup
6 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoon reduced-sodium or lite soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoon crushed garlic
4 teaspoon sesame seeds
3 large raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into nuggets
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs slightly beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup fat-free chicken broth
4 tablespoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons pancake syrup
6 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoon reduced-sodium or lite soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoon crushed garlic
4 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 cups broccoli florets (or more if desired)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set it aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a bowl with egg substitute. Toss to coat and set aside.
Put flour in another bowl. One at a time, use a fork or tongs to transfer chicken "nuggets" to the flour bowl, allowing excess egg substitute to drain back into the egg bowl. Thoroughly coat the chicken with flour and then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining flour and chicken.
Bake the chicken in the oven until fully cooked. I lightly sprayed the top of the chicken with oil to "crisp" up the chicken a bit.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine broth with cornstarch in a nonstick skillet and whisk to dissolve. Set stove to medium-low heat. Add syrup, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. Add broccoli. Mix well. I also added a little more salt and pepper to taste here. Stirring often, cook until it's thick enough to coat a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve over rice. This recipe would serve 5-6.
