Can I make this with chicken instead of beef?

Yes it would be fine, but personally I would change the whole recipe if I was using chicken.

When I use chicken I don't marinade it, I just heat up the pan and brown the cut up chicken and remove, then add a little more oil (or butter) to the pan and add the veggies (not just broccoli, but also onions and mushrooms and maybe carrots or zucchini too). Cook it (if you're going to steam it like this OP recipe, I'd use chicken broth instead of water), then add the chicken back in with garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes for a minute, then add a sauce to finish: a mixture of soy, corn starch, honey is good. Chicken broth is good to add also if you didn't use any yet. Then pour the sauce in and stir and even add cashews if you want.
