Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

Notes
For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for brightness.
