Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s vegetable oil, divided
- 4 chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s cornstarch
- 1 1/4 teaspoon (6 ml) kosher salt, divided
- 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 2 cup (480 ml) s cooked quinoa
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s honey
- 3 tablespoon (45 ml) s sriracha sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1-2 teaspoon (8 ml) s black and white sesame seeds, or as desired
Instructions
- Set up two separate bowls: one containing the whisked egg, and the other combining cornstarch with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Submerge the chicken pieces in the whisked egg. Coat them evenly by tossing them in the cornstarch mixture.
- Warm a tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cook the chicken until each side is a nice golden color, roughly 8-10 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all the sauce components. Drizzle the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to ensure it is well-coated, then set it aside.
- Use a paper towel to swiftly clean the pan, then pour in the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Heat the pan once more and sauté the broccoli until it begins to brown, which should take around 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of quinoa into each meal prep container. Distribute the chicken and broccoli evenly over the quinoa in each bowl.
- Top with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges as a garnish.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to four days. Enjoy either chilled or warmed up, according to your preference.
Notes
- For a healthier twist, opt for olive oil instead of vegetable oil for a unique flavor.
- Adjust sriracha sauce to your liking for the perfect level of spiciness.
- Enhance your meal prep bowl with additional veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for added crunch and nutrients.
