Ingredients:

1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 lb. chicken breast tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup water
1 14 oz. can chicken broth

1. Heat a large, high-sided pan, coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Cook for one minute. Then add the chicken, onion, and cumin, and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until onions are soft and chicken is no longer pink.
