Cook the chicken until golden-brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

In a small bowl whisk the almond milk and flour until smooth. To the same pan heat the remaining oil, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for up to 1 minute.

Pour in the almond milk mixture and stir; you should see the sauce getting thicker almost immediately as it heats up.

Add broccoli and cook for 6-8 minutes, or just until tender. Return the chicken back to the pan and continue to cook for a couple of minutes to heat up.
