    YieldServes 4
    Active Time22 minutes
    Total Time22 minutes
    Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups quick-cooking white rice
    1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
    8 cups broccoli florets
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, breasts, or a mix, patted dry, cut into 1″ chunks
    6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
    1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
    1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon Sriracha
    1 large clove garlic, finely grated
    1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
    1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
    2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
    2 scallions, thinly sliced

    Preparation
    Cook rice with a pinch of salt according to package directions.
    Set a steamer basket in a medium pot filled with 1″ water, cover pot, and bring water to a boil. Steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 5–6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
    Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch, pepper, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
    Heat 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over high. Add half of the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and a light brown crust forms, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil; cook remaining chicken and transfer to plate.
    Combine honey, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Transfer sauce to skillet and cook 1 minute to reduce slightly. Return chicken to skillet, toss in sauce to coat, and cook until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in reserved broccoli, toss to coat, and remove from heat.
    Divide chicken and broccoli among 4 plates and top with scallions and remaining 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds. Serve with rice on the side.

    Hi, Theresa. It does indeed look delicious! According to our portion sizes here, this recipe would yield 8 servings, each providing the following exchange: 2 carbs + 3 proteins + 1 veg.
    Note that we don’t really encourage white rice in this program. If you can find a brown or wild rice (optimally low-arsenic, if available), that would be best. Also, be sure to you olive or canola oil rather than “vegetable.”
