Step 1

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the honey-mustard sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

Cook the rice: In a small (2-quart) saucepan, combine the rice, broth or water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn down to low, cover, and simmer until rice is cooked and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand (still covered) for about 10 minutes to let the rice finish steaming.

Step 3

Sauté the vegetables while the rice cooks: In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the broccoli and carrots. Sprinkle the water over the vegetables, then cover the skillet for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and sauté the vegetables until tender, about 3 more minutes.

Step 4

Serve the vegetables and chicken over rice, with the sauce drizzled on top.
