Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into thin strips before cooking.
  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are best for this recipe. Avoid using frozen broccoli, as it can become mushy when cooked.
  • Make sure your garlic sauce is flavorful: The garlic sauce is what makes this dish so delicious, so make sure you use fresh garlic and plenty of it. You can also add other seasonings to the sauce, such as ginger, soy sauce, or rice vinegar.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken and broccoli will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.
