Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Dice the tomato and slice the green chilies.
In a large non-stick frying pan, apply a light spray of cooking oil. Heat over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced chicken pieces to the pan. Stir-fry them until they begin to brown on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced tomato and green chilies to the chicken. Stir everything together well.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the low sodium soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Mix until well combined.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and allow the chicken to cook through, about 15 minutes.
Uncover the pan and increase the heat for a minute or two, stirring occasionally, to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of sides.
