Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided, or any other oil
  • 4 chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch, or more if needed.
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, use 1 tablespoon for a less spicy option
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds, or as desire

Instructions

1

Prepare 2 bowls, one with beaten 1 large egg, and the second with 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper. (about 1 tsp from 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt)

2

Dip the diced 4 chicken breasts into the beaten egg. Place all the pieces into the cornstarch and toss to lightly and evenly coat.

3

Heat one tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer without overlapping.

4

Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

5

In a medium bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients (2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil). Pour sauce over the chicken and toss to coat, then set aside.

6

Quickly wipe the pan with a paper towel, and add the remaining one tablespoon of oil.

7

Preheat the skillet again, and stir-fry the 1 head broccoli florets until they start to brown. About 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.

8

Add about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa (2 cups cooked quinoa divided) to each meal prep bowl. Divide the broccoli and chicken among your bowls and arrange them over the quinoa.

9

Garnish with 2 green onions (diced), 1-2 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

10

Refrigerated for up to 4 days. Serve cold or reheated, as desired.
