Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado or groundnut oil divided
- 4 chicken breasts diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 1 head broccoli cut into small florets
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
To garnish:
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1-2 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds or as desire
Instructions
- Prepare 2 bowls, one with beaten egg, and the second with cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dip the chicken into the beaten egg. Place all the pieces into the cornstarch and toss to lightly and evenly coat.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer without overlapping.
- Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients. Pour sauce over the chicken and toss to coat then set aside.
- Quickly wipe the pan with a paper towel, and add the remaining one tablespoon of oil.
- Preheat the skillet again, and stir fry the broccoli until they start to brown. About 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
- Add about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa to each meal prep bowl. Divide the broccoli and chicken among your bowls and arrange over the quinoa.
- Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
- Refrigerated for up to 4 days. Serve cold or reheated, as desired.
Notes
- Chicken: I prefer you to use lean chicken breast. But you may use boneless chicken thighs. you may switch the protein to either shrimp if you like.
- Broccoli: use fresh if possible. Frozen will also work. Don't like broccoli? use any of your favorite veggies like green beans or Brussels sprouts.
- Oil: any oil works
- Quinoa: if you don't like quinoa, you may use brown rice.
- Store these honey garlic chicken in containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- This meal is slightly spicy but you may either add less sriracha or skip it completely.
