- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
Instructions
- 1
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot. Add rice and a pinch of salt, stir, then cover and reduce heat to low.

While rice cooks, pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add chicken and sear 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Push chicken to the side. Add minced garlic to the empty space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour soy sauce and brown sugar over everything.

Toss chicken to coat in the glossy sauce, cooking for 1 minute until it clings to the meat. Transfer to a plate.
