- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)

steps
- 1.
Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions; set aside once done.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce to the skillet. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the fresh broccoli florets to the skillet, mixing well until they are vibrant and tender-crisp.
