Preparation

Step 1

Steam or cook rice as directed. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine honey, seeds, soy sauce and garlic. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites and cornstarch. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium heat. Add half of the chicken and cook until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do the other half the same way. You might need to add more oil. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the sauce and scallions, toss to coat. Lower the heat to low setting.

Place a steamer basket in a large saucepan and add 1 inch of water over high heat. Bring to a boil and add the broccoli, cook until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Toss with the chicken and serve over the rice.
