Ingredients
2 tbsp avocado or groundnut oil, divided
4 chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp cornstarch
1¼ tsp kosher salt, divided
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
2 cups cooked quinoa
Honey Garlic Sauce:
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
To Garnish:
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1–2 tsp black and white sesame seeds
Instructions
In a bowl, toss diced chicken with egg, cornstarch, and 1 tsp salt. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches until golden and cooked through (5–6 minutes). Set aside.
Add remaining oil and sauté broccoli with ¼ tsp salt until bright and tender-crisp (about 4–5 minutes).
Whisk together all sauce ingredients. Pour into skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly (2–3 minutes).
Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
