Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Pro Tip: For a deeper flavor, use a cast-iron skillet to get a better sear on the chicken.

  • Prep: Cut the chicken into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure it cooks through at the same time the broccoli reaches fork-tender perfection.
