    Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the broccoli. Chop it into small florets and steam them for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Next, add the chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.

    5

    Pour in 1 cup of teriyaki sauce and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak in the flavors.

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and then mix in the steamed broccoli. This gives you your broccoli rice.
