Ingredients

For The Chicken

  • 3 chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces (24 ounce/680g)

  • Egg white (30g), beaten

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch

  • 1 1/4 tsp salt, divided

  • 2 cups green beans or 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets

  • 2 tsp sesame oil

For The Honey Sriracha Sauce

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

To Serve

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, or as desired

  • 2 cups brown rice, cooked

Method

CHICKEN

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/425°F. Dip the chicken in the egg whites, then in cornstarch and season with 3/4 tsp salt. Grease a large nonstick pan then add the chicken, leaving room for the greens on one end. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

2. Remove chicken from the oven and flop over, then add greens on the other half of the pan and drizzle with 2 tsp sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place back in the oven and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.

SAUCE

3. In a medium bowl whisk honey, sriracha sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil together until smooth. Add the chicken and toss in sauce to coat.

4. Serve over brown rice topped with green onions and sesame seeds as desired.
