- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces and rinse rice until the water runs clear.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
