Chicken and Broccoli

I know I already have a Beef and Broccoli recipe and considered just mentioning the same recipe can be used with chicken in a footnote but it occurred to me that since I organize my recipes by categories, those who don’t eat beef might not even get to the recipe to realize this.

Chicken and Broccoli

So to make sure the chicken lovers don’t feel left out, here’s a recipe for Chicken and Broccoli! This is a simple stir-fry with just a few sauces but does not disappoint in flavor.

Chicken and Broccoli

Feel free to add in however much broccoli you prefer, I like mine sparsely populated in the dish but if you want more, go for it! The important thing is to not overcook it; the broccoli is supposed to be cooked but still firm, not soggy. As usual, the tell-tale sign for this equilibrium is when it turns bright green, so keep your eyes peeled.
