Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add 1 cup broccoli florets to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in any remaining marinade from the chicken. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the sauce has thickened slightly.
