Ingredients
– 1/4 cup chicken stock or water
– 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
– 3/4 cup uncooked rice (about 2 cups cooked), preferably basmati
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 3 cups broccoli, chopped
– 3 cups snap peas, ends trimmed
– 2 large chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1-Combine all honey sesame sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Whisk well so cornstarch dissolves.
2-Cook the rice per package directions, about 15 minutes for basmati. Divide evenly among 4 storage containers while warm.
3-Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped broccoli and trimmed snap peas. Cook 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green. Spoon over the rice in containers.
4-Season chicken cubes with salt and pepper. Add remaining olive oil to the hot pan. Cook chicken 7-10 minutes, stirring until browned and fully cooked through.
5-Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the chicken. Simmer 2 minutes, stirring as it thickens into a glossy glaze.
6-Divide chicken into containers. Drizzle extra sauce over each bowl.
7-Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Cool, seal, and fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before eating.
