In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, sprinkle the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the garlic powder, italian seasoning, the rest of the salt, and the pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 6 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for 6 to 7 minutes more until opaque in the center and it reaches its safe temperature. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Just before the chicken is done, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes until tender.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve alongside the chicken breast and steamed broccoli.
