Tips for Success
- Uniform Chicken Pieces: Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
- High Heat Stir-Fry: Keeping the heat high helps to sear the chicken and cook the broccoli quickly while maintaining its vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Fresh Garlic: Using fresh garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavor that pre-minced garlic just can’t match.
