Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp avocado or groundnut oil, divided
  • 4 chicken breasts, diced (1-inch)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1¼ tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1 head broccoli, small florets
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp sriracha (use 1 tbsp for less heat)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
To garnish: sliced green onions; black/white sesame seeds; lime wedges

Directions:

  1. Coat chicken: Set up two bowls—one with beaten egg; one with cornstarch + pinch of salt/pepper. Dip chicken in egg, then toss in cornstarch to lightly coat.
  2. Sear: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook chicken in a single layer until golden on all sides, 8–10 minutes.
  3. Sauce: Whisk honey, sriracha, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour over chicken; toss to coat. Remove chicken; wipe skillet.
  4. Broccoli: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Stir-fry broccoli 2–3 minutes until browned; season with a pinch of salt/pepper.
  5. Assemble: Add ~½ cup quinoa to each meal-prep bowl. Divide chicken and broccoli on top. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime.
  6. Store: Refrigerate up to 4 days. Enjoy cold or reheat as desired.
