Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process smoother.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use organic or locally-sourced produce and meats.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a lean protein that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will allow you to cook the chicken and broccoli in one pan, which makes cleanup easier.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken and broccoli will be at their best when they are hot and crispy.
