Does the broccoli get too soft?

The broccoli does get very soft when cooking alongside the chicken in this recipe. However, we like the way it turns out because it melds into the other flavors of chicken, carrot, and potato. If you prefer a less cooked broccoli, you could mix it in at the end and let it cook on sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

Yes, chicken breasts can be used in place of chicken thighs in this recipe. If you have not cooked with chicken thighs before, I do encourage you to try it as they have a slightly higher fat content that keeps them juicy. Either way, make sure your chicken is boneless for this recipe.
