Step 1 · Cook the Rice
Cook the basmati rice according to package directions and keep warm.
Step 2 · Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all over with the salt and pepper.
Step 3 · Sear the Chicken
Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through. Rest 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 4 · Char the Broccoli
Cut the broccoli into florets and toss with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of the salt. Cook in the hot skillet, mostly undisturbed, for 5-6 minutes until charred at the edges and crisp-tender.
Step 5 · Assemble
Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the sliced chicken and charred broccoli.
