Ingredients:

• Chicken:
• 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, (cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks)
• 2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
• salt and peper, (to taste)
• 2 tbsp butter
• Sauce:
• 6 tbsp Sriracha sauce, (more or less, to taste *SEE NOTES BELOW)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup butter, (melted)
• 1 tbsp + 2 tsp tsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, (optional)

• 1/4 tsp salt, (more or less, to taste)
• Bowl Ingredients:
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 4 cups steamed broccoli florets

Instructions:

1. Place a large nonstick sauce pan over medium heat with butter.
2. To a Ziploc bag, combine chicken and season with salt and pepper. Add in the cornstarch, seal the bag and toss to thoroughly coat.
3. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chicken, shaking off any excess cornstarch.
4. Cook chicken 2-3 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 155-160 degrees F using a meat thermometer. 
5. While the chicken is cooking, combine ingredients for sauce into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
6. Once the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees F, drizzle the sauce over and toss to coat.
7. Allow sauce to simmer, stirring frequently, 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F). Sauce will thicken as it sits.
8. Remove from heat and served over rice and broccoli.
9. Garnish with sesame seeds and freshly chopped chives.
10. MEAL PREP:
11. Divide chicken and sauce into four separate meal prep containers with 1/2 cup of rice and 1 cup of broccoli. Seal with lids and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
