Ingredients

- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, approx. 8 oz (225 g) each (16 oz (450 g) total)
- 1 1/2 cups (280 g) jasmine rice
- 1 large head broccoli, about 14 oz (400 g), cut into florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (0.5 oz / 14 g total)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and cook jasmine rice according to package directions; keep warm.
2. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, distribute minced garlic over and around the breasts, and arrange broccoli florets in the dish beside the chicken.
3. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through and broccoli is tender and slightly browned at the edges, about 20–30 minutes depending on breast thickness; check doneness by ensuring juices run clear.
4. Let chicken rest 3–5 minutes, slice and serve alongside roasted broccoli over jasmine rice.
