Ingredients
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, and black pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Salt chicken lightly and marinate for 10 minutes while prepping vegetables.
While chicken marinates, steam broccoli and cook quinoa if not prepared. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add marinated chicken (discard excess marinade). Sauté for 7-9 minutes, stirring, until golden and cooked through.
Taste chicken and adjust seasoning with a splash of vinegar or soy sauce, if needed, to brighten flavors and balance salt-acid.
To assemble bowls, divide quinoa between 4 bowls. Top each with equal portions of chicken, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and scallions.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot.
