Its’s finally here!!! I will say after 6 crazy attempts and so what felt like so many trial and errors, I can finally say this recipe is fool proof and BOMB.COM.

Seriously it’s better then take out and much healthier too, you can definitely prep this meal in advance like I do and always double the recipe as well, if you want leftover or even want to meal prep for the week.

Now if you’re a vegetarian or just want a meat-less week night meal you can simply replace the chicken with tofu! Serve this with white rice or my garlic fried rice.

Notes

• You can replace chicken breast with thighs as well.
• Replace chicken with tofu but just omit the baking soda.
• Baking soda really helps to tenderize the chicken, its a step you don’t want to skip.
• You can marinated the chicken the night before and chop the broccoli as well to save you time.
• Serve with white rice, fried rice, brown rice or even quinoa.
