    Broccoli is an excellent source of many vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. I'm not a broccoli lover. But I try to add it to our regular diet as much as possible. I had tried out Asian style chicken and broccoli couple of times here in Bay Area. It inspired me to try out this twisted Indian version. Partnering broccoli with chicken and the spices makes it the best 🙂 This dish has excellent nutritional values without compromising taste. You are definitely gonna love it 🙂
