1-1/2 tsp cornstarch
Pinch each nutmeg and cayenne pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
12 oz (375 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 tsp chopped fresh sage (or 1/2 tsp crumbled dried)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Whisk together milk, cornstarch, nutmeg and cayenne pepper; set aside.

Stir in broccoli florets and stems and white parts of green onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 6 minutes. Transfer to serving plate; keep warm.
