Soy-Glazed Chicken with Broccoli

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat chicken dry and season with 1 tsp. salt. Cook cut side up (you want the smooth side with the most surface area to hit the pan first) until deeply golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and reduce heat to medium-low. Turn chicken and continue to cook, spooning sauce over occasionally, until sauce is syrupy and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes more.

Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Season broccoli with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
