Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Equipment

For this recipe, you will need:

  • A cutting board and a sharp knife

Method

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

  6. When the chicken is cooked, add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and stir to combine.
