In a #small pot{}, combine @white rice{1.5%cup}, 1 ¼ cups water (2 ¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of @salt{}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, ~{20%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Cut @broccoli{2%unit} into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim @asparagus{12%oz} and trim, as needed, strings from @sugar snap peas{8%oz} when necessary.

Heat in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, snap peas, and 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings); cover and steam, undisturbed, until veggies are bright green, ~{5%minutes}. Uncover and add a large drizzle of @cooking oil{}, a pinch of @sesame seeds{2%tbsp} (save the rest for serving), @black pepper{}, and kosher or sea salt. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and lightly charred and sesame seeds are toasted, 2-4 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a side plate and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

Open package of @diced skinless dark meat chicken{20%oz}* and drain any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in the pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until deeply browned on one side, ~{3%minutes}. Continue to cook, stirring, until chicken is browned all over and cooked through, ~{3%minutes} more.

Transfer broccoli and snap peas to pan with chicken; stir in @sweet soy glaze{8%tbsp} and @sweet Thai chili sauce{2%oz} with ¼ cup water (about ½ cup for 4). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and everything is coated, ~{2%minutes}.

Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice between plates or bowls. Top with stir-fry. Sprinkle with a pinch of remaining sesame seeds and serve.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
