Notes
Type Of Broccoli: You can use either fresh broccoli florets or frozen broccoli. The frozen broccoli florets instructions are the same when using fresh or frozen. I prefer fresh but frozen is good when it's out of season.
Add Olive Oil: If you wish to add a little oil to the chicken, then I'd recommend olive oil as it's a healthy oil that will help lock in the flavor.
