Prep 15 min · Cook 15 min

Combine jasmine rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. 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. Done when tender and water absorbed.
While the rice simmers, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover with a plate and microwave for 3 minutes until tender but still bright green.
Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes without moving to develop a golden crust. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing the chicken constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the meat. Serve over the rice with the steamed broccoli on the side. Done when sauce is thick and glossy.
