About This Recipe:
Chicken and broccoli is one of my favorite Chinese-American dishes. It really only requires 2 main ingredients, and can be prepared in under 30 minutes! I never order this dish at restaurants because it’s so easy to make at home, and I look forward to plenty of leftovers. And the best part of making it at home is that you can make EXTRA sauce for your bowl of rice!
Enjoy!

-1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
