This Meal-Prep Honey Sesame Chicken with Broccoli is a fantastic lunch recipe. I love to make this in advance and then have it for lunches during the week. A short bit of weekend prep will ensure you have healthy lunches all week.
Start by searing chicken thighs in a skillet. Add a honey, sesame and soy sauce broth to the chicken. Cook in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Prepare the sides as the chicken cooks. Assemble the lunch boxes with roasted broccoli, cauliflower rice, and the chicken. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions and enjoy!
To make Meal-Prep Honey Sesame Chicken with Broccoli, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Season 1 pound of skin-on chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Using a whisk, combine ⅓ cup of chicken broth, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, skin side down. Sear for about 5 minutes until evenly browned. Flip the chicken so that the skin side is up.
Pour the broth mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 15 - 17 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through.
In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of broccoli with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until tender.
Divide cauliflower rice and roasted broccoli among four lunchboxes. Add the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
Serve within 4 days.
