Garlic Chicken Stir-Fry

I have listed 2-3 tablespoons of minced garlic, you may of coarse adjust to taste --- the steamed broccoli may be replaced with sauteed fresh mushrooms --- make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the crushed chili flakes or you may omit completely --- make certain to have everything prepared and handy near your wok or skillet before starting this --- NOTE; this does not make a lot of sauce so I would strongly suggest to double the sauce amounts --- serve with cooked rice.
