Ingredients
For the Chicken & Broccoli:
2 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
4 boneless, skinless 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
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (use 1 tablespoon for a milder flavor)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
To Garnish:
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1–2 teaspoons black and white sesame seeds
Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare two bowls: one with beaten egg, the other with cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dip chicken into the egg, then coat with cornstarch.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in a single layer until golden and cooked through, 8–10 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss cooked chicken with sauce.
- Wipe skillet clean, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and sauté broccoli until tender and slightly browned, 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble meal prep bowls: 1/2 cup quinoa per container, topped with broccoli and chicken. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Serve cold or reheated.
Notes
- Chicken: Lean breast is preferred; thighs or shrimp can be substituted.
- Broccoli: Fresh is best; frozen works too. Swap for other vegetables if desired.
- Oil: Any neutral oil can be used.
- Quinoa: Brown rice, couscous, or rice alternatives work well.
- Spice: Adjust sriracha to taste; omit for no heat.
