Crystallized Ginger Chicken

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup slivered crystallized ginger
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4 -inch cubes
1 green pepper, sliced into 1/8 -inch wedges
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and black pepper. Dredge chicken in the seasoned flour; shake off excess.
In a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat, cook garlic in hot oil about 10 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until light golden. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add broth, ginger, soy sauce and sweet potato to the wok and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, or until potato is just tender. Return broth to a boil.
Add green pepper and chicken and cook, stirring, 2 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Makes 4 servings.
