Instructions

1-First: combine the sauce ingredients: Β½ cup soy sauce, ΒΌ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 heaping teaspoon ginger, 1 heaping teaspoon garlic, 3 tablespoons water, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a bowl and set it aside.

2-Next: prepare the broccoli by chopping 1 small crown into florets and steaming it in a 12-inch nonstick skillet with ΒΎ cup water until crisp-tender, which takes 2 to 3 minutes; drain and keep it warm.

3-Then: wipe the skillet clean and heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 Β½ pounds cubed chicken breast, seasoned with kosher salt and black pepper, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

4-Finally: divide the cooked rice into 4 to 5 bowls, add the chicken and broccoli, top with slices from 2 avocados seasoned with salt and pepper, drizzle with the pan sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds as desired.
