Preparation:

Makes 4 servings

Sprinkle both sides of chicken breast halves with 1 tsp. of the five spice plus salt and pepper to taste.
Heat oil in wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breast halves and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce heat to medium-low. Remove pan from heat and remove chicken to plate. Let pan cool about 1 minute, then add wine, stirring to loosen any brown bits. Stir in chicken broth, plum sauce and the remaining 1 tsp. five spice.
 

Return chicken to pan and return pan to medium-low heat; cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken to plates. Let sauce cook an additional 30 seconds to thicken slightly. Pour sauce over chicken.
