Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, 1/2 cup of 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, season the chicken breast on both sides with the garlic powder, black pepper, and half of the remaining salt.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and the broccoli. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp of water, a pinch of salt, and cover the pan. Steam for 4 to 5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
Fluff the rice with a fork and mound it on a plate. Slice the rested chicken and lay it over the rice with the broccoli alongside. Whisk the lemon juice into the pan juices in the skillet and spoon them over the chicken and rice.
