Honey Garlic Chicken Meal Prep

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons avocado or groundnut oil, divided
  • 4 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
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

To garnish:

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds, or as desire

Instructions

  • Prepare 2 bowls, one with beaten egg, and the second with cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Dip the chicken into the beaten egg. Place all the pieces into the cornstarch and toss to lightly and evenly coat.
  • Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer without overlapping.
  • Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients. Pour sauce over the chicken and toss to coat then set aside.
  • Quickly wipe the pan with a paper towel, and add the remaining one tablespoon of oil.
  • Preheat the skillet again, and stir fry the broccoli until they start to brown. About 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa to each meal prep bowl. Divide the broccoli and chicken among your bowls and arrange over the quinoa.
  • Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.
  • Refrigerated for up to 4 days. Serve cold or reheated, as desired.
