We used chicken breast for the recipe, but it can easily be made with chicken thighs or legs. Thickness of chicken breast will vary so you will have to increase cooking times if your chicken breast is thick. If you are using chicken tenders, cooking time will be less.

Quick and easy. Used one large chicken breast, 6 garlic cloves, 1 c water, 1 c milk, and added the broccoli with the liquids to simmer longer. Loved it! Thank you for a delicious and economical recipe. Served with buttered French bread. Fed four of us quite well!-
