# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread mixture evenly across the prepared sheet pan.
03 - In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
04 - Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Whisk slurry into the saucepan and simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce reaches desired thickness. Remove from heat.
05 - Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over chicken and broccoli mixture, tossing gently to coat evenly. Reserve remaining sauce for finishing.
06 - Roast in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and broccoli is tender with crisp edges.
07 - Distribute cooked brown rice among serving plates. Top with roasted chicken and broccoli mixture. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
