- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For Serving:

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
