Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl.
Heat avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them to develop a golden sear. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
Add the broccoli florets and two tablespoons of water to the skillet. Cover with a lid and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and the chicken is cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the lid and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli. Toss for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything. Serve over the rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
