Prepare the Chicken Teriyaki

1. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the marinated chicken until cooked through and lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).

3. Optional: For a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in water and add it to the chicken. Bring to a boil until the sauce thickens.

Prepare the Rice and Broccoli

1. In a pot, bring 1 L of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the rice and reduce the heat to low, simmering for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

2. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
