Steam (or microwave) your broccoli until tender but firm. Set aside.

Prepare chicken breasts by de-boning and removing skin. Slice into long thing strips. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and saute the chopped onions, chicken strips, and garlic until the chicken is done. Add peas, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots.

Stir in the hoisin sauce, chile paste, and soy sauce into the skillet. Add ginger, chile paste (I prefer a Thai chile paste), and black pepper to taste. Add the chicken stock, simmering and stirring until mixed well. Put in the steamed broccoli and coat well with the sauce.
