I'm not a fan of broccoli, so I substituted it with asparagus. It was still delicious.

This dish is best served immediately. The sauce tends to thicken up as it sits.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I overcooked it. Next time I'll cook it for less time.

The sauce was a little thin for my liking. I added some cornstarch and it thickened up nicely.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
