Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into bite-size cubes. Season with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and lime juice, then toss well. Let it marinate for 5 to 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

Trim and wash the purple sprouting broccoli. Slice the leek and onion, and finely chop the garlic.

Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and set aside.

Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, and stir until the butter melts. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and nearly cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
