For optimal tenderness, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A pinch adds a subtle warmth, while a larger amount will deliver a fiery kick.
To prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy, avoid overcrowding the skillet and ensure it's cooked quickly over high heat.
Feel free to add other vegetables to this stir-fry, such as bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots, for added color, flavor, and nutrition.
