Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic powder, chili sauce, and half the sesame oil (all for 4 servings). Set aside until ready to use in Step 5.
Massage rice in package to separate grains; partially open package. Microwave until heated through, 1½–2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15–20 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; dice into ½-inch pieces. Place in a second medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, whisk together tempura batter mix and ⅓ cup cold water (⅔ cup for 4 servings) until smooth. TIP: If needed, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until mixture reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency.
Add chicken to bowl with batter; stir until evenly coated.
Heat a ¼-inch layer of oil in a large, preferably heavy-bottomed, pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering and hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, working in batches, add coated chicken in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2–3 minutes on the first side and 1–2 minutes on the second side.
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
