Maybe an idea to mention that we also need to cook broccoli and rice as first in the recipe. I now found out that I also needed to add and thus cook rice at the very last moment and had to wait until the rice was all cooked. Use this order in all recipes please.
You’ll notice that the first ingredient is: 2 cups of Broccoli Florets cooked. The rice was only a suggestion to serve it with!
Thanks to CHEF JEAN PIERRE , I made this Honey Garlic Chicken to rave reviews. I love all of his recipes and I love his great personality. I wanted to make the Chicken , that same weekend once again. I love left overs, so I made more so I would have left overs. Looking forward to getting more of his video recipes in my InBox. Thanks Chef Pierre The Jewel
