1 chicken broth packet (Herbox brand) 

1 clove garlic, minced 

2 tablespoon salt-free spice blend 

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, and cook and stir the chicken breast meat until the chicken is no longer pink inside for about 3 minutes.
