Ingredients

• 1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cup white rice (uncooked)
• 1 head broccoli (cut into florets)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.5 cup water

Instructions

1. Cook the white rice according to package directions.
2. While rice cooks, season the chicken breast slices with salt and black pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
5. While chicken cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
6. Pour the prepared honey-garlic sauce into the same skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce.
8. Serve the honey-garlic chicken immediately with the steamed white rice and broccoli.
