Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Broccoli
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth, stirring to combine everything well.
