Title: Bengal Spiced Chicken
Categories: Polkadot Herb Chicken
Yield: 2 Servings

		Nonstick cooking spray
1/2	ts	Minced garlic
1/2	ts	Minced ginger
1	lb	Boneless, skinless chicken breast in bite-sized chunks
2	ts	Corn starch, dissolved in
2	tb	Water
SAUCE
1	c	Water
1		Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea bag
2	tb	Soy sauce
1	tb	Sugar

Prepare the sauce: Put tea bag in water & microwave for 2 minutes. Remove tea bag & discard. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the tea and mix well.

Coat large skillet with cooking spray. Cook garlic & ginger for about 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir fry until opaque. Add sauce, bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add corn starch dissolved in water, and cook over high heat, until sauce has thickened.

Serve over rice.

Notes: Bengal Spice herb tea contains cinnamon, roasted carob, ginger root, roasted chicory root, dates, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and quinoa. As a tea, it sounds perfectly awful, but it adds a delicious flavor to the chicken!
