Calories: 213 • Fat: 4.7 g • Protein: 27.5 g • Carb: 12.7 g • Fiber: 0.4 g

8 medium chicken drumsticks, skin removed
Pam spray oil
1 cup water
1 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce (more or less to taste) (I-Erin, used Louisiana Hot sauce and it was good)
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 tsp agave nectar (or sugar)
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tbsp chives or scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds

In a heavy large saucepan, brown chicken on high for 3-4 minutes with a little spray oil. Add water, balsamic, soy sauce, agave, garlic, ginger, hot sauce and cook on high until liquid comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 20 minutes. Remove cover and bring heat to high, allowing sauce to reduce down, about 8 minutes until it becomes a thick glaze, turning chicken occasionally. (Keep an eye on glaze, you don't want it to burn when it start becoming thick) Transfer chicken to a platter and pour glaze on top. Top with chives and sesame seeds and serve.

Brocolli with Garlic Sauce

1 large bunch fresh broccoli, (about 1 1/3 pound)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fat-free, low-sodium beef or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
3-4 scallions, thinly sliced
Trim broccoli and cut into florets. Peel stalk with a vegetable peeler and slice thinly. Set aside.In a medium bowl, stir garlic, broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar or sugar substitute, and sesame oil.
Heat a large skillet over heat high and add the canola or corn oil. When the oil is hot, carefully add the broccoli. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until the broccoli begins to brown slightly. Reduce the heat to medium and add 1/4 cup of water. Cover and cook 3-4 additional minutes until the broccoli begins to soften
Pour sauce over broccoli, cook 2-3 minutes longer until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the sauce thickens. Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately
