Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 11/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces sesame seeds (about 1 cup)
- 3 cups hot, cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets and steamed
Directions
1
Combine the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until blended. Set aside.
2
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Place the egg whites and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Whisk until the mixture starts to foam. Stir in the chicken. Drain. Place the sesame seeds and the remaining salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Place the chicken in the bag. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the chicken.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Reduce heat to medium. Carefully add the chicken to the skillet. Cook, turning with tongs, until golden, 3–5 minutes. Drain the chicken on a paper towel, removing any browned sesame seeds. Add the warm chicken to the hoisin sauce mixture in the bowl.
4
Place the rice in the center of a serving platter. Surround with the broccoli. Spoon the chicken over the hot rice. Serve immediately.
