Ingredients

Instructions

Rinse brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30-35 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with fork.
While rice cooks, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar in a small bowl to make the glaze.
Heat sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Add broccoli florets to the skillet with chicken and stir-fry 2-3 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
Pour the glaze over the chicken and broccoli. Toss to coat and cook 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the chicken.
Serve chicken and broccoli over brown rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
