Honey Sriracha Chicken and Broccoli Meal Prep Bowls
Description
The recipe starts by coating diced chicken breasts in egg whites and cornstarch with salt to create a crispy exterior when baked. The chicken is baked at 425°F, flipped, and then fresh broccoli florets are added to the pan to roast with sesame oil and seasoning. Both components cook together until the chicken is fully cooked and broccoli is tender yet crisp. Meanwhile, a sauce made from honey, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and sesame oil is whisked until smooth. Once the chicken is baked, it is tossed in the sauce for a balance of sweetness and heat. The meal prep bowls are portioned with cooked brown rice and topped with sliced scallions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
This dish suits meal prepping, offering a satisfying combination of protein, vegetables, and grains. It reheats well and provides a balanced lunch or dinner option with sweet-spicy notes from the sauce and nutty sesame accents. The crisp roasted broccoli complements the tender chicken for a well-rounded texture.
Nutritional details include rice and highlight protein content. Seasoned rice vinegar adds brightness, balancing the richness of sesame oil and honey. The dish can be portioned into four servings for meal prep containers.
Ingredients
- olive oil spray form
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 chicken breast diced into 1-inch pieces (24 ounces
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 egg beaten, white
- 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- 2 scallions (sliced)
- 1 broccoli cut into small florets, head
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds or as desired, black and white
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 cups brown rice (cooked)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Place the chicken in the egg whites, then in cornstarch and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Spray a large nonstick sheet pan generously with olive oil spray (so the chicken doesn’t stick) then add the chicken pieces, leaving room for the broccoli on one end. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven and flip, then add broccoli on the other half of the pan and drizzle with 2 teaspoons sesame oil, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Place back in the oven and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together until smooth. Add the chicken and toss in sauce to coat.
- Divide all the ingredients to 4 meal prep bowls, top with scallions and sesame seeds.
