• Tenderising option: Consider tenderising chicken breast using this method. (Not needed for thigh)
• Cook: Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir for 10 seconds until garlic starts to go golden.
• Then add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.

In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook broccoli stems and florets until broccoli is a bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain well. In a wok, heat oil over high heat until just smoking. Add garlic and ginger and stir fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir fry until chicken becomes white and opaque, 3-5 minutes. Add water chestnuts, broccoli, soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken broth, and sugar.
