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 heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and cornstarch until no lumps remain. Set aside.
Heat half the sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the remaining sesame oil, broccoli, ginger, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli. Serve over the steamed rice.
