Honey Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

Honey Sesame Sauce:
¼ cup chicken stock or water
¼ cup soy sauce (I use reduced sodium)
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Chicken Lunch Bowls:
¾ cup uncooked rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups broccoli, chopped into small pieces
3 cups snap peas, cut into small pieces
2 large chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
salt & pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
sesame seeds (garnish)

Instructions

Shake together all honey sesame sauce ingredients and set aside.
Cook rice according to package instructions.
Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add broccoli and snap peas. Cook for 5 or so minutes, until bright green and tender. Remove from pan.
Add additional olive oil if necessary. Add the chicken to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired). Cook for 7 or so minutes, until cooked through.
Add the sauce to the pan and simmer for 2 minutes, until thickened.
Combine rice, veggies and chicken and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
