Ingredients

1.5 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
1.5 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 cup honey
0.25 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
1.5 pound broccoli florets (fresh)
0.5 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
Toss the broccoli florets with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
While the broccoli roasts, cook the jasmine rice according to package directions.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the remaining 1 minced garlic clove to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the reserved honey-ginger sauce and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the honey-ginger chicken over steamed jasmine rice, with the roasted broccoli on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Adjust the amount of ginger to your family's preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
