Hainanese Steamed Chicken and Broccoli Rice

You wouldn't believe that I thought of this meal because I was too lazy to do too much cooking. Most of this meal is prep work and very simple ingredients. Steamed chicken by itself is tasty but with ginger scallion sauce, it is mouth watering. These are the ingredients I used, it might not be authentic Singaporean Hainanese chicken but it tastes fantastic.
