Notes
For best results, use fresh ingredients—bright green broccoli and plump chicken.
Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its vibrant color and crunch.
For a thicker sauce, whisk cornstarch with water and add while simmering.
Feel free to customize with additional veggies or spices to fit your taste.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
Reheat leftovers gently on the stove, adding a splash of cream to maintain creaminess. Enjoy your meal and have fun experimenting in the kitchen!
