Recipe Notes

• You could use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.

Here's how to make it: 

1. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
   
2. Put the chicken into a bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of the marinade and stir to coat.
   
3. Heat about 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
   
4. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Remove the chicken from the marinade and put into the hot pan. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
   
5. Add the chicken broth, remaining marinade and broccoli. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
