Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 35 minutes. When done, remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with half the olive oil, half the garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes until tender and the edges are browned.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining garlic powder, dried basil, dried thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more until the center is opaque and reaches the safe temperature. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the brown rice with a fork and place on the plate. Slice the chicken breast and serve beside the rice and roasted broccoli.
