Notes
Always preheat your wok or pan before you start cooking for the best results.
Cut your chicken into evenly-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Cook your broccoli just until it turns bright green to maintain its crunch and nutritional content.
Don't overcrowd your pan, cook in batches if necessary to allow each piece to cook properly.
Taste as you go along and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
