Guilt Free Sesame Chicken

Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked Jasmine rice
  • 3 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 1" chunks
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen broccoli florets thawed

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in non-stick pan on medium heat.
  2. Make the sesame chicken sauce by combining the soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, agave and minced garlic. Set aside.
  3. Cut the chicken breast into 1" cubes, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Beat the egg whites in a bowl, then combine with the cornstarch to form a batter. Coat the chicken with the batter, then add half of the chicken into the pan. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until each piece is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken onto a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the second batch of chicken.
  5. When all the chicken is cooked, add them back into the pan, and pour the sesame chicken sauce over them. Toss in the broccoli, then stir to combine. Serve with cooked Jasmine rice.
