Substitutes for this Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Who doesn’t love a healthy version of a stir-fry? I love using chicken mostly but you can also make this with shrimp if you like or even lean beef. If you prefer using chicken breast instead of chicken thighs go right ahead. Sometimes I just love using chicken breast instead of thighs because its leaner and I spend less time cleaning off the fat off the thighs. It’s definitely juicer with thighs though.
