Quick Sesame Chicken With Broccoli

This quick sesame chicken with broccoli is a fantastic high-protein dinner that delivers bold, takeaway-style flavours from the comfort of your own kitchen. The chicken is tossed in cornflour before frying, creating a light, crispy texture that perfectly grips the sweet and savoury honey-soy glaze. Paired with vibrant steamed broccoli and fluffy white rice, it offers a balanced meal that is both nourishing and satisfying.

Ideal for busy weeknights, this homemade version of a popular classic is much healthier than a standard delivery. The addition of fresh ginger, garlic and a hint of Sriracha provides a gentle warmth, while the toasted sesame seeds add a delightful nutty crunch. Serve it up as a family favourite or a reliable post-workout meal that can be on the table in less than half an hour.

Ingredients for Quick Sesame Chicken With Broccoli

  • 275g quick-cooking white rice

  • 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

  • 8 cups broccoli florets

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornflour

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra recién molida

  • 900g boneless skinless chicken thighs, breasts, or a mix, patted dry, cut into 1" chunks

  • 60ml de aceite vegetal, dividido

  • 60ml plus 1 tablespoon honey

  • 60ml low-sodium soy sauce

  • 45ml rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

  • 1 large clove garlic, finely grated

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided

  • 2 cebollas de primavera, finamente picadas

Cook rice with a pinch of salt according to package directions.

Set a steamer basket in a medium pot filled with 1" water, cover pot, and bring water to a boil. Steam broccoli, covered, until crisp-tender, 5–6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Whisk cornflour, pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.

Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over high. Add half of the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and a light brown crust forms, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl.

Transfer first batch of chicken to a plate. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and cook remaining chicken. Add sauce to skillet along with first batch of chicken. Toss well and cook until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes. Fold in reserved broccoli, toss to coat, and remove from heat.

Divide chicken and broccoli among 4 plates and top with spring onions and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds. Serve with rice on the side.
