Directions: Heat olive oil in non-stick wok or large, deep frying pan. Add garlic, saute until lightly browned. Add broccoli, saute for 5 minutes; remove from wok or pan. Add chicken and onion to pan, saute until chicken is browned. Add spices and wine and Sherry. Mix cornstarch with chicken broth and add mixture to pan, stir until everything comes to a boil, and liquid thickens (if liquid has not thickened enough by the time it is boiling, mix 1/4 cup broth or water with another 1 to 3 teaspoons cornstarch, stir until smooth and then add to pan; stir until thick).
