1-Step 1: Prepare your coating stations Set up two shallow bowls: one with the beaten egg, the other with cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper. This simple setup is the secret to getting that perfect golden crust on your chicken.

2-Step 2: Coat the chicken Toss the chicken cubes in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then transfer to the cornstarch mixture. Turn to coat evenly, pressing gently to ensure the cornstarch adheres well. This double-coating method helps create that restaurant-quality texture we all love!

3-Step 3: Cook the chicken Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in a single layer (do not overcrowd) and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 8 10 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.

4-Step 4: Prepare the honey-garlic sauce While the chicken cooks, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. This quick step builds layers of flavor that will transform simple chicken into something extraordinary.

5-Step 5: Combine chicken and sauce Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate, pour the sauce over it, and toss to coat. Set aside while you prepare the broccoli. This allows the chicken to absorb some of the delicious sauce flavors.

6-Step 6: Cook the broccoli Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil, and stir-fry the broccoli for 2 3 minutes until lightly browned but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. You want that perfect tender-crisp texture that makes broccoli so enjoyable!

7-Step 7: Portion your quinoa Divide ½ cup cooked quinoa into each of your prepared meal-prep containers (or bowls). This superfood grain provides the perfect base for your meal, packed with essential nutrients that benefit your overall health.

8-Step 8: Add the toppings Top the quinoa with the sauced chicken and broccoli. Arrange everything neatly in your containers to create appealing, well-balanced meals for the days ahead.

9-Step 9: Garnish and store Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a lime wedge if desired. Let the meals cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. This recipe serves 4 and stores well for up to 4 days. Enjoy cold or reheat gently in the microwave.
