Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken and soy sauce in a shallow dish or heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Cover or seal, and chill 15 minutes.

Cook broccoli in boiling water 3 minutes; drain. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain. Set aside.

Drain chicken, reserving soy sauce; dredge chicken slices in cornstarch.
