Directions

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Let the sauce thicken for 1–2 minutes.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the honey garlic sauce. Let simmer for another 2 minutes.
Cook the Rice: While the chicken cooks, prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions.
Steam the Broccoli: Steam broccoli florets until tender, about 3–4 minutes.
Assemble: Plate the chicken with a serving of rice and broccoli on the side. Drizzle extra sauce over everything for maximum flavor!
