- If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, the white wine will add a nice depth of flavor to the dish.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- If you don't have broccoli florets on hand, you can use broccoli crowns. Just cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the sauté of chicken and broccoli over rice or pasta. You can also serve it with a side of bread or salad.
